Secretary Baldoz announces more job fairs in last two months of 2013 Secretary of Labor and Employment Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz yesterday urged employers to continue playing their cooperative stance in providing more productive opportunities to jobseekers as she announced there are still more than a hundred job fairs scheduled from November to December this year. In making the announcement, Baldoz reiterated her observation that job fairs are more viable and more economical venues both to search for workers and to search for jobs. “The year 2013 is almost over, but we in the DOLE are keen to really open up more opportunities to job seekers, hence our job fairs will continue to be conducted until the close of the year,” she said. Baldoz took the opportunity to thank employers for their tireless participation in year-round job fairs which are one of DOLE’s strategies in the pursuit of the overarching goal stated by President Benigno S. Aquino III, in his 22-point labor and employment agenda, to “invest in our country’s top resource, our human resource, to make us more competitive and employable” by addressing job mismatch. According to Baldoz, the country’s network of local government units and Public Employment Service Offices under the supervision of the Bureau of Local Employment, including DOLE’s regional offices, will host the DOLE’s job fairs for the remaining days of 2013. “We are constantly promoting better coordination between employers, the academe, and the government to strengthen cooperation so that the opportunities in the job fairs will be accessible to jobseekers in major cities, municipalities, and even in the barangays,” said Baldoz. Based on a preliminary report of the BLE, some 17,390 establishments and employers actively participated in 916 job fairs in the first nine months of the year. These fairs assisted 539,633 jobseekers, of whom some 15.7 percent, or 84,650, have been hired-on-the-spot (HOTS), while others were assisted in completing their requirements for eventual job hiring, including referral to not just one, but several, job vacancies. She also said the onsite presence in the job fairs of DOLE and other government agencies, such as the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, ensured that workers received related assistance, including skills training, retooling, and upgrading to enhance their employability. BLE Director Dominique R.Tutay said that for the rest of 2013, the job fair schedules, accessible in the Phil-JobNet at phil-job.net, are as follows: National Capital Region (NCR): November 7, 2013–Navotas City to be hosted by Navotas PESO; November 7-8 –Valenzuela Foundation Day job fair at New Valenzuela City Hall Parking Area, hosted by Valenzuela PESO; November 8 –Pasay PESO, Pasay City; Navotas PESO, Navotas City; November 14 –BOC Bldg.
