CAREER FOCUS

 

The latest labor market study “Project Jobs Fit: DOLE 2020 Vision” projected the in-demand occupations that will generate employment.

 

Focusing on this trend, Vice Gov. Lacbain in cooperation with the DOLE Zambales magnifies these opportunities through career outlook orientations.

He mentioned that labor market information (LMI) shows key in-demand industries—the Agribusiness, Cyber services, Hotel/Restaurant/Medical Tourism, Health and Wellness. Banking and Finance, Manufacturing, Whole and Retail, Real/Retirement Estate and Overseas employment.

“These key industries, as DOLE’s study projected to be the source of growth in employment, will definitely guide our students of choosing career path.” Vice Gov. Lacbain told student participants in the latest conduct of CGC in Ramon Magsaysay Technological University (RMTU) Iba Campus. “These industries awaits jobs for our future work force, so our students will be aware of what they should consider upon taking a course in college or upon finding opportunities, because we will be more than happy to not only see them graduate from school but also see them already employed.” he added.

Meanwhile, aside from the trend, PESO Zambales and DOLE Zambales imparted to students employment strategies such as creating proper resume’, tips during interview, job hunting techniques, avoiding illegal recruitment and labor rights.
