Croatia offers high-paying jobs to Filipino workers

Croatia is offering high-paying and high-quality jobs for Filipino workers as the government-to-government (G2G) hiring program between Manila and Zagreb officially begins.

Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Hans Cacdac announced that the program is in full gear, with the first batch of recruits expected in the coming days.

Croatia's State Secretary for Labor Ivan Vidis stated that the country's fast-growing economy has created a demand for 30,000 to 40,000 skilled workers, particularly in tourism, construction, and healthcare.

Vidis expressed Croatia's happiness to welcome Filipino workers, whom he described as valued for their professionalism and adaptability.

This G2G program aims to provide a safer and more direct pathway for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), bypassing recruitment agencies to reduce risks and fees.

Two Filipinos, Mary Ann Paac and Riley Littaua, are among those nearing deployment and are set to undergo their final interviews as pioneers of this initiative.
