Partnerships that open doors for Filipino workers

In an increasingly competitive global economy, the most decisive investments a nation can make are those that create jobs, strengthen skills, and widen opportunities for its people.

The government’s growing collaboration with the private sector—anchored on the Public Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) and its partners demonstrates how shared purpose can translate into measurable impact.

Through the Trabaho Para sa Bayan or J.O.B.S. (Job Opportunities Building Skills) program, more than 5,000 job fairs have been mounted nationwide, connecting employers and jobseekers on an unprecedented scale. This expansive reach shows that when government and industry combine strengths, employment generation becomes not only a policy aspiration but a concrete, nationwide movement.

These job fairs are more than events. They signal a shift toward a jobs ecosystem that is accessible, inclusive, and strategically aligned with both present and future workforce demands. With PSAC helping mobilize companies across sectors and regions, jobseekers are no longer constrained by location or limited industry exposure. The continued expansion of these job fairs supported by local government units, business chambers, and educational institutions reflects a shared recognition that employment is the most powerful social equalizer.
