He said three job and business fairs will be held on May 1 at three venues, namely, CB Mall in Urdaneta City and Lingayen in Pangasinan, and Robinsons Place in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte.
“We make it easy and fast for jobseekers to find jobs that fit their qualifications, interests and career inclinations while we continue to review our entrepreneurship and livelihood programs to improve our assistance to those seeking livelihood and want to venture into entrepreneurial activities,” Lacambra said.
This year’s theme, “Matatag na Kabuhayan at Trabaho Tungo sa Progresibong Pagbabago”, underscores the agency’s role in providing opportunities for decent work and economic growth as enshrined in the TNK.
