Over 6,000 jobs are up for grabs in a three-day job fair organized by the United States (US) Embassy for displaced migrant workers from Libya and other job seekers, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz on Wednesday said.
The job fair, also open to fresh graduates, will be from March 18 to 20 at SM North Edsa in Quezon City.
Baldoz said the US Embassy enlisted the help of 33 American companies for the activity, dubbed the “America in 3-D Job Fair.”
She added that the US Embassy and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) worked closely organizing the event for displaced overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) from Libya.
Over 9,000 Filipinos have returned to the Philippines from the strife-torn North African country.
Available jobs
The participating American companies include business processing outsourcing (BPO) firms that offer 3,000 jobs and banking-retail firms with 818 vacancies.
The other companies taking part in the job fair are engaged in information technology (IT), engineering, hotels, energy, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor industries.
Local industries, including mining firms in the Caraga region in Mindanao, will also participate in the event.
Job hunters can apply for employment as card and bank sales officers, customer service representatives, BPO agents and non-agents, engineers, machinists, electricians, marketing staff, human resource generalists, accountants, technical officers, IT specialists, and analysts. – with Paterno Esmaquel II, VVP, GMA News
