SM Supermalls proudly hosted its 100th job fair, reinforcing its unwavering commitment to providing meaningful job opportunities to Filipinos across the country. This significant milestone underscores SM Supermalls’ dedication to nation-building and economic empowerment.
SM City Valenzuela and SM City Calamba hosted the 100th and 101st job fairs on June 14, 2024, continuing the tradition of partnering with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Public Employment Service Offices (PESO) to provide a venue for job matching. This year, SM Supermalls has significantly scaled up its efforts, hosting weekly job fairs in various malls across the country to provide job opportunities to tens of thousands of Filipinos.
Thousands of job seekers have converged at SM Malls nationwide, making the job fairs an essential platform for Filipinos to secure employment and improve their livelihoods.
Wide Reach and Accessibility
Held across SM Supermalls nationwide, the job fairs ensured wide accessibility for job seekers from various regions, bridging the gap between employers and potential employees. These recruitment events featured on-the-spot hiring for qualified candidates, streamlining the employment process and helping fill urgent vacancies efficiently. Attendees benefited from the presence of on-site government booths, including the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Social Security System (SSS), PAG-IBIG, and PhilHealth. This setup allowed applicants to complete necessary job requirements seamlessly, enhancing their chances of immediate employment.
Celebrating Milestones and Impact
Steven Tan, president of SM Supermalls, expressed his pride in this achievement, stating, “Reaching our 100th job fair is a testament to our commitment to empowering Filipinos through meaningful employment. We are honored to play a pivotal role in nation-building by providing opportunities that transform lives and contribute to the overall well-being of our communities.”
