DOLE-Zamboanga Peninsula Director Albert Gutib confirmed on Tuesday, June 9, that the Independence Day Jobs Fair will be held simultaneously at KCC Mall in Zamboanga City and Gaisano Mall in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay. This is a great opportunity for fresh graduates and returning workers.
Of the total vacancies, 1,671 are for overseas employment through six licensed placement agencies, while 1,816 are for local employment with 35 participating companies. Whether you want to work abroad or build a career closer to home, there is something for everyone.
Gutib emphasized that the job fair features a one-stop shop with 21 partner agencies offering services like national ID registration, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG membership.
