Ople Center holds job fair

The Blas F. Ople Policy Center and Training Institute, a non-stock, non-profit foundation established in honor of the late senator and foreign affairs secretary will hold a job fair on Feb. 2 at the Central Plaza of Market! Market! mall in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

The job fair will bring together under one roof local and overseas Filipino job applicants, employment agencies, and local and foreign employers in one-stop shop job and employee search, interview and hiring.

The job fair, to be held on the eve of Ople’s 80th birthday, aims to increase the awareness of participants on the significance of Ople’s role in shaping the country’s labor and employment history and perpetuate in the nation’s consciousness his positive deeds and long lasting contributions to national development; enlist support and generate financial resources for the Blas F. Ople Journalism Scholarship Program administered by the Ople Policy Center and Training Institute and the Samahang Plaridel; and help contribute to national employment generation.

The Center is working closely with the Department of Labor and Employment — National Capital Region, Public Employment Service Office — Taguig, and the Taguig City Government to disseminate information and promote wide public participation in the job fair which is being organized by Susan Ople, president of the Ople Policy Center.
