THE Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said Japan has approved 25,000 jobs for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), from construction to medical and healthcare sectors.
The DMW and the Japanese Embassy will showcase job opportunities at a special jobs fair, dubbed “Konnichiwa Pilipinas! Kumusta, Japan!” in celebration of the Philippines-Japan Friendship Week.
The fair, scheduled for today, will be held on the 3rd floor of Robinsons Galleria Ortigas in Quezon City.
At least 15 licensed recruitment agencies will participate in the fair, representing sectors such as construction, medical and healthcare, hotel and restaurant, customer service, and more.
The department also announced that the Embassy of Japan will help Filipino job seekers connect with trusted recruiters and will also offer guidance on Japanese work culture, including gender dynamics and potential risks of working abroad.
