SM launches J.O.B.S. initiative to connect jobseekers with employers

SM is expanding its collaboration with government and private institutions to generate more jobs and match workers with employers.

The conglomerate has launched the Job Opportunities Building Skills (J.O.B.S.) initiative, hosting job fairs in SM malls nationwide and rolling out upskilling programs since January 2024.

These efforts have connected around 70,000 jobseekers with over 4,000 employers and hired approximately 10,000 employees on the spot, positively impacting Filipino families.

SM is working closely with organizations such as the Private Sector Advisory Council, DOLE, ECP, Jobstreet by SEEK, and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry to further its goals.

The company also offers digital courses like Cloud Foundation and Business Analytics in partnership with educational institutions like Asia Pacific College and National University.
