MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) announced today that around 120,000 job vacancies overseas will be offered to thousands of job seekers during a three-day job fair that would kick-off on June 12, Independence Day.
The job fair, dubbed Kalayaan 2009 Mega Job and Livelihood Fair, will be held simultaneously in 19 major cities across the country. The event in Manila will be staged at the Luneta Grandstand.
POEA administrator Jennifer Manalili said the overseas jobs will be composed of job orders from the Middle East, particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Canada. These offerings will be available on the third day of the event.
She said that about 101 recruitment agencies will be participating in the event. The jobs in the Middle East involve land-based overseas employment, while service workers are required in Canada.
Earlier, labor officials said the first day of the job fair would feature government agencies offering 50,000 vacancies especially for professionals and those with civil service eligibility.
On the second day, the event would feature private local companies dangling some 70,000 vacancies.
