BAROTAC NUEVO, Iloilo — Job seekers across the province are gearing up for a day of real possibilities as the PESO & PPSK NEXT GEN: Trabaho Fair – Trabaho Agad Program takes center stage on August 28, 2026. The one-day event at Tamasak Arena promises direct connections between employers and fresh talent.
A Fair Designed for Young Dreamers
The Trabaho Fair is organized under the Linggo ng Kabataan 2026 celebration, placing youth empowerment at the heart of the program. It brings together companies and agencies ready to interview applicants on the spot. For many young Ilonggos, this is the first step toward a stable career.
Attendees will have the chance to explore a variety of openings, from entry-level positions to roles requiring specialized skills. The event’s “Trabaho Agad” theme signals a focus on immediate hiring and fast-tracked applications. Employers are expected to conduct preliminary screenings right at the venue.
What to Bring and How to Prepare
Organizers remind applicants to come fully prepared. Multiple copies of an updated resume, a valid government-issued ID, and a photocopy of transcript of records or diploma are essential. Bringing a ballpen and folder completes the checklist for a smooth application process.
A pro tip from the organizers: dress confidently and bring your best self. First impressions matter, and many hiring managers decide within minutes. The fair runs from eight in the morning until three in the afternoon, giving ample time to visit multiple booths.
A Hub for Local Talent and Employers
Barotac Nuevo’s Tamasak Arena will transform into a bustling marketplace of opportunities. The venue’s accessibility makes it easy for job seekers from nearby municipalities to attend. Organizers have worked to ensure a wide range of companies from different industries will participate.
The collaboration between PESO and PPSK reflects a whole-of-government approach to employment generation. By bridging local employers and job-ready youth, the fair supports the province’s economic recovery and growth. It also aligns with broader efforts to reduce youth unemployment and underemployment.
A Message of Hope and Action
For every applicant who walks in, the fair represents a chance to write a new chapter. Whether seeking a first job or a career shift, the event removes many barriers that typically delay hiring. The organizers’ message is clear: your next job could be just one application away.
The day is also an opportunity for young people to network and learn about career paths they may not have considered. Volunteers and staff will be on hand to guide attendees. The spirit is positive, energetic, and focused on the future.
