With more than 10,000 job vacancies and a one-stop shop of services from government agencies, the event promises to be one of the most comprehensive job fairs of the year.
A Two-Day Job Bonanza
The job fair is divided into two focus areas:
- October 4, 2025: Overseas employment opportunities. Over 30 licensed recruitment agencies will participate, offering jobs in healthcare, engineering, hospitality, and skilled trades abroad.
- October 5, 2025: Local job hiring. More than 20 Cebu-based companies from the BPO, retail, construction, and manufacturing sectors will be opening positions for fresh graduates and experienced workers alike.
Applicants are encouraged to bring several copies of their résumés, valid identification, and other essential documents to maximize their chances of landing an interview on the spot.
One-Stop Shop for Jobseekers
Beyond employers, the event provides access to government services to streamline job application requirements. Agencies on-site include:
- Social Security System (SSS)
- Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)
- Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)

This integrated setup allows job seekers to process supporting documents like birth certificates, clearances, and membership verification without leaving the venue.
Government Commitment to Livelihood
Governor Pamela Baricuatro emphasized the administration’s mission to prioritize jobs and livelihood. The job fair is expected to benefit thousands of Cebuanos looking to jumpstart or advance their careers, especially at a time when local and overseas employment demand continues to rise.
