According to Labor Secretary, Rosalinda Baldoz, the May 1 job fair would gather 300 employers and agencies that would offer more than 100,000 local and overseas job openings to applicants. It will simultaneously be held in 40 different locations all over the Philippines.
The event will also showcase livelihood counseling, franchising opportunities, skills training, and livelihood skills demonstration.
