Leveling up employment opportunities through partnerships, innovation, and upskilling
SM Supermalls continues to champion meaningful opportunities for every
Filipino with its nationwide Job Fair program—marking a powerful first half of
2025. Since launching the campaign early last year, SM has mounted over 300 job
fairs across its malls nationwide, connecting 180,000 job seekers to potential
employers, and leading to more than 24,000 on-the-spot hires.

Thousands of hopeful applicants showed up during the Labor Day Job Fair at SM City Bacolod. |
Held in partnership with government agencies and private sector
leaders, SM Supermalls’ Job Fairs have become a staple platform for accessible
employment across industries. Ever since, SM supported the nationwide
simultaneous job fairs of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) during
Labor Day (May 1) and Kalayaan Day (June 12), offering thousands of positions
to job seekers across the country.

Openings came from a wide range of sectors—retail, banking, food, BPO,
manufacturing, logistics, manpower, construction, hospitality, corporate, and
even overseas deployment—making the SM Job Fairs inclusive and responsive to
the evolving job market.

But SM’s Job Fairs go beyond job matching. This year marked a leap
forward with the launch of the Job Fair + Skills Hub, in collaboration with TESDA.
Through this pioneering integration, job seekers can now consult on their
training needs and avail of free courses from TESDA, making them more
competitive and employment-ready. It’s a holistic approach—from application to
upskilling to employment.

In addition to its long-standing support for traditional sectors, SM
expanded its reach through new partnerships in logistics and supply chain,
retail, and public health. In collaboration with the Department of Health
(DOH), job fairs for healthcare workers were conducted to bolster the country's
healthcare sector. These job fairs contributed to strengthening the health
workforce, so the country’s healthcare system can meet the needs of every
Filipino.
