BUTUAN CITY – More than 1,000 jobs will be offered in the mega job fair in the Caraga region of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in celebration of its 90th founding anniversary with the theme “DOLE@90: Serbisyong Mabilis at Matapat sa Bagong Pilipinas” at Robinsons Place here on Friday, December 1.
Thirty-five local and five overseas employers are participating in the event from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A Kadiwa ng Pangulo Para sa Manggagaawa and Livelihood Fair featuring products of seven farmer’s associations in the Caraga region, including beneficiaries of the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP), will be also held in the same venue.
DOLE-Caraga Director Joffrey M. Suyao encouraged job seekers, especially fresh graduates, to visit the job fair and have an opportunity to be hired on the spot.
Suyao reminded job seekers to prepare for interviews and bring requirements such as resume and personal data sheet.
“We, in DOLE, are doing our best to invite employers with vacancies tailor fit to the demand of the jobseekers. With unemployment rate at 5.1 percent, let us continuously work together to provide decent work to all Caraganons,” Suyao said.
Government agencies such as the Social Security System, Pag-IBIG, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Tourism, and the Technical Skills and Development Authority will participate in the event to provide assistance through a one-stop shop.
