Labor Day Job Fair 15,000 job vacancies

15,000 trabaho ang naghihintay sa mga dadalo ng Labor Day job fair ng DOLE sa Region 1.

Jobseekers should make a go for over 15,000 jobs, which will be offered at two job fairs being organized by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)-Regional Office No. 1 in commemoration of the 2015 Labor Day, Regional Director Grace Ursua said yesterday.

In a report to Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz, Ursua said the regional office will hold a job and livelihood fair at the SM City in Rosales, Pangasinan, on May 1, and another job fair at the Robinson’s Place in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, on April 30 as lead-up activity to the event.



“We are finalizing our coordination with local employers, licensed recruitment agencies, and other government agencies to bring together at least 60 local employers and licensed recruitment agencies which will make available over 10,000 vacancies at the SM City Rosales job fair. At the Robinson’s place, around 40 local employers and licensed recruitment agencies will offer at least 5,000 vacancies,” Ursua said.

The job fairs, she said, are part of the regional office’s continuing efforts to shorten jobseekers’ search for employment by bringing into one venue companies which are in need of workers.

“The DOLE works to make it easy and fast for jobseekers to find jobs that fit their qualifications, interests and career inclinations; while helping employers find the right applicants for their manpower needs,” the regional director said.

Giving a sample of the top local vacancies, Ursua said available for the taking include customer service representatives and technical support representatives, engineers, office personnel, accounting staff, quality control technicians, cashiers, HR managers and support staff, financial advisers, sales support while overseas, job orders are topped by skilled construction workers, engineers, architects, nurses, and other medical workers, hotel and restaurant workers, agricultural workers, butchers, quality surveyors, event coordinators

At SM City Rosales, the livelihood fair will showcase products of DOLE-assisted projects, and a livelihood focal person will attend to queries about the DOLE Integrated Livelihood and Emergency Employment (DILEEP) program, its requirements, guidelines, procedures and other related matters. “This is to inspire those whose inclination is to be in business,” she said.

At SM City Rosales, Ursua said the regional office will set up a one-stop shop to provide various employment services to workers, jobseekers, and fresh graduates. These services are those offered by the Social Security System, Philhealth, Pag-IBIG, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, Professional Regulation Commission, National Conciliation and Mediation Board, Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board, and National Labor Relations Commission. The OWWA, POEA and TESDA will offer their one-stop-shop services at the Robinson’s Place job fair.

Ursua specifically singled out the PRC which she said will bring its services, namely, registration of license, application for examination, renewal of ID card, releasing of available ID cards, authentication and certification of professional records, legal advice, and other services.

Already the 113th, this year’s Labor Day commemoration is anchored on the theme, “Disenteng Trabaho at Kabuhayan, Alay Natin sa Bayan”.
