As the Philippine Independence Day comes fast approaching, JobStreet, the largest and leading employment company, has partnered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to once provide Filipinos the opportunity to apply and be equipped for occupations. This will be made possible through its week-long Virtual Career Fair, commencing on June 13 to 17, 2022.
The decline in the workforce was at a high point, especially when the pandemic occurred. Almost 4.6 million Filipinos quit their jobs resulting in an increase in the unemployment rate. Due to this, JobStreet indicated during its launch that the collaboration with DTI aims to fulfill job demands in the country by empowering and celebrating freedom — choosing a path fit to their way of living in consideration of every individual’s priorities.

“How can you ensure that this Virtual Career Fair will reach people, especially in remote areas? What are the preparations for this one?”
“…we also realized that not everyone can have the same level of internet access as their neighbor. And that is why we made it sure, as part of our pillars, what we’re offering here in our Virtual Career Fair, it’s not going to be on a single channel, it’s not purely going to be on mobile, it’s purely not going to be on the app, it’s not going to be purely in the desktop. […] We’re offering all these available channels for our candidates. We’re trying to make sure that everything is available,” Rafael Dela Cruz, Candidate Marketing Lead, reassured.
In just a few more days, the Virtual Career Fair will now officially launch! Hop on and explore various jobs, learn various lessons, and gain a foundation for your career path. JobStreet Philippines and DTI are excited for you!
