ANG hangarin para sa isang mas pinabuti na workforce ng mga Pilipino ay bumubuti dahil sa pangunguna ng SM Supermalls, Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC), Jobstreet by SEEK, at kanilang mga partner sa pamamagitan ng “Trabaho Para sa Bayan: Job Opportunities Building Skills (J.O.B.S.) Commitment Ceremony” noong Mayo 9, 2024, sa SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. Layunin ng inisyatibong ito na tulungan ang mga naghahanap ng trabaho at mga potensyal na employer, at tugunan ang hamon ng kawalan ng trabaho sa Pilipinas.

Ang seremonya, na nagtipon ng mga malalaking kumpanya sa industriya, kilalang mga asosasyon, at mga pinuno ng gobyerno — kabilang ang SM Supermalls, ang nangungunang mall operator sa Pilipinas, Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), at Philippine Exporters Confederation (PHILEXPORT) — upang mag-host ng serye ng mga job fair at magbigay ng online job matching platform, ay nagpapakita ng isang sama-samang pagsisikap tungo sa iisang layunin.

Higit pa sa pisikal na mga job fairs, inanunsyo ng SM Foundation at Jobstreet by SEEK ang isang digital partnership. Ang online platform na ito ay naglalayong palawakin ang saklaw ng mga oportunidad sa paghahanap ng trabaho para sa mga Pilipino, at nakikipagtulungan ang mga asosasyon ng industriya upang gamitin ito para sa pag-advertise ng kanilang mga bakanteng posisyon.

Ang seremonyal na kasunduan sa pagitan ng SM Foundation at Jobstreet by SEEK ay nagpatibay ng pundasyon para sa isang digital na plataporma na tumutugon sa mga naghahanap ng trabaho, na sumasalamin sa lingguhang job fairs ng SM sa buong bansa. Kasama sina SM Foundation Executive Director Deborah Sy (ikaapat mula sa kaliwa) at Jobstreet by SEEK Managing Director Dannah Majarocon (ikaapat mula sa kanan), at sina Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Chairman George Barcelon, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma, Special Assistant to the President for Investments and Economic Affairs Frederick Go, SM Investments Corporation (SMIC) Vice Chairperson Teresita Sy-Coson, Go Negosyo Founder Joey Concepcion, at Philippine Exporters Confederation President Sergio Ortiz-Luis Jr.

Inanunsyo ng SM ang kanilang pilot upskilling initiative, na nakatuon sa digital skills. Ang programang ito, na may layunin na magplano para sa kinabukasan, ay naglalayong sanayin at pahusayin ang kasalukuyang mga manggagawa, upang ihanda sila sa mga pangangailangan ng patuloy na nagbabagong job market.
