DOLE maps out initial 100 job fairs in 7 regions for 2014

An initial 100 job fairs have been mapped out for seven regions for this year, the Department of Labor and Employment said Thursday.

 

DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said her agency will also conduct major employment facilitation activities and provide them easy access to labor market information (LMI).

 

"Year-round job fairs are our aim, and the rest of the DOLE regional offices are still finalizing their schedules, so the 100 job fairs are an initial number. There will be more," she said.

 

She said the DOLE will work with other government agencies, private sector partners, the academe, and other stakeholders to make the job fairs productive.

 

Aside from the job fairs, the DOLE is preparing for the second National Career Advocacy Congress in May and the Career Guidance Week in July.

 

“I therefore encourage job seekers, including graduates and students, to prepare for these activities,” Baldoz said.

 

From February to December, the DOLE job fairs as posted on the Phil-JobNet website include:
