This year’s Labor Day celebration, Kinabukasan Sigurado sa Disenteng Trabaho,
will be highlighted by modified job fairs in 44 sites across the country. The fair
will showcase key sectors and industries that would generate employment in the next
seven to ten years.
“The 2016 Labor Day celebration underscores the DOLE’s effort in developing
the country’s top resource, our workers, and generating decent and productive
jobs to secure a brighter future for the country,” said Labor and Employment
Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz
Career guidance for the youth
A modification was made by the Department through the conduct of a career fair,
which aims to guide students and the youth in making career decisions.
“The career fair will feature the on-going human resource development initiatives
of the DOLE in partnership with labor groups, employers, key sectors, and
other government agencies. It will build on the Human Resource Development
Roadmap and the Labor and Employment Plan for 2016-2022 to prepare the youth for the future of work,” said Baldoz.
She added that the career fair will be participated in by 3,000 youths and students
who want to explore career opportunities in the labor market. It will also feature career
ambassadors who will assist the youth participants in making career decisions.
Several government agencies will showcase their respective programs on career guidance, including scholarships and related programs on the K to 12.
A labor market information (LMI) corner will also be set-up, featuring the enhanced
Phil-JobNet, Job Search Kiosk, JobStart Philippines, Human Resource Development
Roadmap 2016-2022, career information materials, and industry career guides.

The nationwide job fairs, on the other hand, will be participated in by more than 800
companies for local employment and 200 companies for overseas employment
with 200,000 vacancies.
Baldoz added that the number of employers and jobs available are expected to increase
because there are still two weeks to go before May 1.
