LAOAG CITY—Hundreds of job offerings here and abroad are for up grabs again this month courtesy of overseas, local companies and national government agencies who are in need of additional workforce.

Anne Marie Lizette B. Atuan, manager of the Provincial Employment Service Office (PESO) under the Ilocos Norte government announced the job fair set on June 22, 2019 at a San Nicolas mall’s Activity Center is meant for fresh graduates for the school year 2018-2019 who wish to apply for employment immediately.

“There are thousands of jobs being offered and we welcome our new graduates to apply for their dream job,” said Ms. Atuan.

On May 1, 2019 around 50 local and overseas companies joined the Labor Day job fair where they hired close to 300 people on the spot after prospective employers interviewed them.

Owing to the continuing job fair programs, the PESO claims unemployment rate in Ilocos Norte continues to decrease, making the province the “least poor” province in Ilocos region.

PESO also encourages job applicants to visit and register at the Ilocos Norte government’s online job portal and PESO Ilocos Norte Facebook page to check on featured jobs available.

Aside from organizing regular job fairs, the PESO also conducts employment and career counseling, anti-illegal recruitment seminars, and other measures to ensure equitable jobs for all.
