Hundreds of job opportunities await Davaoeṅos as two big companies will open their branches in Davao City in the coming months.
Public Employment and Services Office manager Philip Nidea said that a big clothing line and a retail store will be needing hundreds of employees as they prepare to open their respective branches in the city.
Nidea said that aside from the two companies, thousands of job opportunities in the city and even overseas are waiting for job seekers in their office.
In 2016, the PESO office listed 102,911 local job vacancies and gave work to more than 21,000 job seekers in the city.
“We coordinated with different programs to open more job opportunities for the Davaoeṅos, last year we referred 29,007 job applicants to various companies, 21,327 of them were now regular employees of big companies,” Nidea said.
He said that the job that were listed on their office were not only limited to those who have a college degree but also to those who were unable to continue their studies in college.
“We also have jobs listed for students and for those who were unable to finish their studies,” he added.
Nidea said that they also help those people seeking for job opportunities abroad to find a job that fits them.
Last year, the PESO office gave work to 1,374 Davaoeṅos in the different parts of the world.
He said that they had made sure that those deployed abroad were in good hands and were fit to the job that they acquire.
“Those working abroad were in good condition, we had made sure of that before they acquire the job their employees were good and they will have a good job,” he said.
Nidea said that they are now preparing for those seeking for summer jobs that range from the age of 15 to 25 years old.
