BONTOC, Mountain Province (PIA) — The Department of Labor and Employment in collaboration with the provincial local government unit of Mountain Province and various line agencies, held a post Lang-ay Job Fair to provide opportunities for job seekers to find meaningful employment.
“Today is all about opportunities, whether you’re a fresh graduate, out of school, looking for a career change, or hoping to work abroad. This job fair was put together with you in mind, ” said George Lubin, DOLE-Mountain Province provincial head, as he encouraged attendees to explore opportunities, ask questions, apply confidently, and not be afraid to seize chances that could lead to a brighter future.
