THE Quezon City government and the Department of Migrant Workers have partnered to offer over 3,000 land-based and sea-based employment opportunities from various licensed recruitment agencies in the first overseas job fair.
Mayor Joy Belmonte said “the goal of this first-ever overseas job fair is to provide numerous opportunities abroad for aspiring migrant workers while ensuring their well-being through safe, orderly and fair migration. The DMW provides legitimate recruitment agencies to protect our people.”
The city government through the Migrants Resource Center of the Public Employment Service Office on Friday held the job fair at the city hall’s Risen Garden from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The MRC also conducted an awareness campaign to encourage all aspiring migrant workers to actively engage in the pre-migration orientation seminar.
The collaboration between the Quezon City government and DMW is part of a memorandum of agreement to strengthen the full protection, promotion and realization of the rights of OFWs, particularly women, and their families as well as to further develop services and programs that are appropriate, effective and efficient.
