DAVAO — Job seekers across the region have a prime opportunity to connect with leading employers at the World Café of Opportunities Job Fair. The event, scheduled for August 25 at the Annex Event Center of SM City Davao, promises a one-stop-shop for career growth and employment support.
A One-Stop Shop for Career Growth
This integrated job fair is a collaborative effort between the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE XI), and the Public Employment Service Office (PESO Davao City). It is designed to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers efficiently. The event aims to shorten the job hunt by bringing everyone together under one roof.
The fair is open to a wide range of individuals. TVET/TESDA graduates, college and high school graduates, and unemployed or displaced workers are all encouraged to attend. Skilled professionals seeking new opportunities and those looking for career guidance or upskilling will also find valuable resources.
Services Available On-Site
One of the key draws of the event is the chance for on-the-spot interviews and potential immediate job placement. This direct recruitment approach allows applicants to connect directly with hiring managers. Many companies are looking to fill positions across diverse industries.
Beyond recruitment, the fair offers opportunities for skills development. Attendees can explore TESDA skills enrollment and demonstrations to learn about emerging industry skills. Government agencies will also be present to provide career guidance and employment support resources.
How to Prepare for the Fair
Preparation is key to making a strong impression. Job seekers are advised to bring 5 to 10 updated hard copies of their resume.
