Muntinlupa City recently opened a website that seeks to connect employers with individuals looking for jobs, paving the way for companies to meet staff requirements and address workforce needs.
Mayor Ruffy Biazon oversaw the public launch of the 1Munti Job Portal, a collaboration between the City Government and partner private institutions led by the Lingkod Muntinlupa Foundation and 1Munti Party.
“The 1Munti Job Portal is an innovation that helps break down barriers of unemployment,” Biazon said in a news release emailed to the media on Tuesday, April 30.
“For companies and employers, as part of our City’s mission to be a business-friendly hub, this Portal is free, and you can gain exposure to a diverse range of candidates tailored to your company’s specific needs and requirements,” the mayor added.
Biazon said the website was designed to make the application process simple for jobseekers. “You only need to visit the website, create an account, and browse for the employment opportunities you need,” he noted.
In addition, Biazon revealed the upcoming Dress for Success Program, which aims to equip jobseekers through a series of capacity-building training on the basics of job-hunting and employment, writing a good resume, and presenting oneself well in an interview.
Once they finish the short modules, they can claim their set of business attires that will hopefully help boost their confidence in their job seeking journey.
Both initiatives are part of the greater Womb to Work policy instituted by the City Government to ensure the holistic development of Muntinlupeños.
Biazon also said that the Portal is still part of the local government’s effort to attain “Smart City” status, describing 1Munti Job Portal as “created at the nexus of leadership and technological innovation” to solve human issues.
“Unemployment is not just a ‘you’ problem—it’s a governance issue. If we put human needs at the centre of innovation, we dictate what technology can do for us. Major issues like unemployment can be solved with technology. We hope that this project will be of great help, especially to our young people, whose bright future we work tirelessly to secure,” Biazon said.
