00:21Joshua, we are here at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City
00:26because today, the two-day job fair of the Department of Labor and Employment
00:32and of Job Street is being held.
00:33It is also hosted by the Pasay City Public Employment Service Office.
00:38This is a place where the needs of Filipinos who are looking for a job
00:43can be met and their skills can be aligned in getting a job.
00:47At the opening of the Employment 2025 Job Street Career Con,
00:55thousands of fresh college graduates joined the so-called program
01:00led by DOLE and Job Street.
01:02In an interview, DOLE Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma said
01:06that it aims to meet the needs of companies or employers
01:11and give jobs to Filipinos, especially new graduates in college.
01:16Displaced workers, like those who lost their jobs
01:20after the closure of their jobs in the country, are also included.
01:23According to DOLE, 126 local employers and 6 overseas companies
01:29are included in the so-called job fair.
01:32The available job opportunities are in the industry of finance,
01:35shipping and logistics, food and beverage, retail, and business processing outsourcing sector.
01:41Fresh college graduates enjoyed the so-called job fair.
01:46These opportunities are very helpful,
01:50not only for fresh college graduates, but also for people who need to apply for work.
01:58It's very helpful for applicants, especially for me, who are looking for a job.
02:03So it's a good initiative for all companies and for Job Street.
02:08We can see that there are a lot of participating employers
02:13who are inviting or encouraging us to participate in Job Street
02:19in coordination with DOLE, our national capital region.
02:26Josh, according to DOLE, there are 5,000 available jobs here
02:30that can be applied by job seekers.
02:33And there is also a one-stop shop inside the SMX Convention Center
02:37where applicants can apply for their primary documents
02:42that they need to apply for a job.
