Toto 9/03/2026 10:25:00 PM

As the world of work continues to change, landing a job is only the beginning. Staying competitive requires continuous learning, new skills, and access to services that can help Filipinos navigate their career journey. This August, SM Supermalls is creating more opportunities nationwide through its SM Job Fair program, bringing together employment opportunities, free upskilling initiatives, and convenient access to government services. More than a venue for hiring, the SM Job Fair has evolved into a platform that empowers jobseekers by connecting them with employers, learning opportunities, and essential services—providing support at every step of their journey toward meaningful and sustainable employment.

Jobseekers explore career opportunities and connect with recruiters during one of SM Job Fair's nationwide hiring events, bringing employment closer to communities across the country.

PMAP Mega Job Fair headlines August lineup

Leading this month's activities is the PMAP Mega Job Fair, happening on August 10–11 at the SM City North EDSA Skydome in partnership with the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP). Held in celebration of PMAP's 70th Anniversary, this year's event carries the theme "HumanITy Forward 2026: Empowering Talent in a Digital World," bringing together top employers, HR professionals, graduating students, alumni, fresh graduates, career shifters, and jobseekers under one roof. The event builds on the Memorandum of Understanding between SM Supermalls and PMAP, reflecting their shared commitment to developing a future-ready Filipino workforce through employment, career development, and continuous learning.
