Filipinos now have a chance to work abroad as 5,000 job vacancies in Taiwan are up for grabs, according to the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO). These opportunities were highlighted during several job fairs held across the Philippines to connect job seekers with Taiwan-based employers.
Job Fairs in Key Cities
MECO Chairperson Cheloy Garafil shared that the job fairs aim to fulfill all 5,000 job orders. These fairs were held in:
- Quezon City
- Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija
- San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan
On Wednesday, the spotlight was on San Jose del Monte, where a job fair at the City Sports Complex offered 1,500 vacancies specifically for local residents.
Industries Hiring in Taiwan
The majority of the job openings are in semiconductor and e-chip production, industries known for their strong global demand and high-tech environment.
Benefits for Applicants
One standout feature of this initiative is that the processing costs, including medical examinations and deployment expenses, are completely free. This removes a significant financial burden for applicants, making it easier for Filipinos to pursue these opportunities.
Helping Filipinos and Boosting Local Employment
The program is a collaboration between MECO, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), and local government units. It aims to:
- Lower unemployment rates in participating cities.
- Provide residents with stable and high-paying overseas jobs.
The local government of San Jose del Monte expressed pride in being part of this effort, stating that it is committed to helping its residents secure these life-changing opportunities.
What’s Next?
Job seekers are encouraged to visit the remaining fairs and take advantage of this incredible opportunity to work in Taiwan. MECO is hopeful that all 5,000 vacancies will soon be filled, paving the way for Filipinos to embark on new careers abroad.
This initiative not only offers Filipinos better employment prospects but also strengthens ties between the Philippines and Taiwan through economic and cultural collaboration.
