SM Supermalls recently had the biggest job fair held at the SMX Convention Center in Manila in partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on Apr. 30 and in 20 malls on Labor Day, May 1.
With 873 companies participating, 14,956 job seekers registered, and 1,367 individuals hired on the spot, the events provided an excellent opportunity for job seekers to connect with potential employers.
The job fairs are SM Supermalls’ support to the government to provide employment opportunities for job seekers, as well as to reduce unemployment in the country.
As the official venue of DOLE for job fairs nationwide, the 20 SM malls who participated are SMGrand Central, SM Southmall, SM BF Paranaque, SM Sucat, SM Baguio, SM Marilao, SM Pampanga, SM Olongapo Central, SM Tuguegarao, SM Cabanatuan, SM CDO Downtown Premier, SM Davao, and SM San Jose del Monte.
LGUs and PESO also held Job Fairs on May 1 at SM Marikina, SM Lipa , SM Roxas City, SM Puerto Princesa, and SM City Novaliches.
For those who missed the May 1 event, there are upcoming Job Fairs still open to job seekers, including fresh graduates, returning overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), and those who have been displaced from their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic at SM City Bacolod on May 5 and 6 and SM Cherry Antipolo on May 12.
A bigger DOLE Job Fair is expected on June 12 in more SM Malls nationwide.
