She is optimistic that through Suliva’s leadership the upcoming job fair will be able to help provide employment to several people seeking for employment.

A job fair is an employment facilitation strategy of DOLE aimed to fast-track the meeting of jobseekers and employers/overseas recruitment agencies in one venue at a specific date to reduce cost, time and effort particularly on the part of the applicants. — FPL (FREEMAN)
