In celebration of the 124th Labor Day, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Nueva Ecija, in partnership with various local government units and stakeholders, is holding a week-long series of activities dedicated to promoting decent work, protecting workers’ rights, and providing employment opportunities for Nueva Ecijano jobseekers.

The highlight of the celebration was the Job Fair successfully held today, May 1, 2026, at SM City Cabanatuan. The event gathered 26 employers offering 2,786 job vacancies. A total of 867 jobseekers registered, composed mainly of regular jobseekers, senior high school graduates, displaced and repatriated OFWs, 4Ps beneficiaries, and persons with disability.

Hired-on-the-Spot (HOTS):
35 jobseekers were immediately hired on the spot. Majority of those hired were regular jobseekers, including 3 senior high school graduates. Another 34 jobseekers were identified as near-hired.
In addition, 385 jobseekers availed of One-Stop-Shop services from various government agencies.

Complementing the main event are the following activities:
• SPES Orientations conducted for hundreds of student-beneficiaries in LGUs such as Palayan City, Santa Rosa, Bongabon, San Jose City, Llanera, Sto Domingo and Zaragoza, benefiting over 600 students.
• TUPAD Orientations for 661 beneficiaries in partnership with the Provincial Government of Nueva Ecija and LGU San Isidro.
• Compliance 101 Seminar for private school administrators and the education sector.
• DILP Awarding to 83 beneficiaries, including parents of child laborers, marginalized individuals, and workers’ groups.

Several activities are still ongoing and upcoming in the coming days, including additional SPES Orientations, Labor Compliance seminars, and support services that aim to reach more workers and students across the province.

These initiatives reflect DOLE Nueva Ecija’s strong commitment to uplifting the lives of workers — from students gaining their first work experience, to informal sector workers, and jobseekers looking for better opportunities.

The Department expresses its sincere appreciation to all partner LGUs, government agencies, educational institutions, employers, and stakeholders who continue to support these meaningful endeavors.

At the Municipal Event Center in Natividad, Nueva Ecija, retail, agribusiness, and food service businesses gathered for a vital Technical Advisory Visit.

Organized by DOLE Nueva Ecija in partnership with the LGU Natividad, the initiative focused on General Labor Standards, Occupational Safety and Health Standards, and the Module for Safety Officer for Micro-Establishments (SOME).

DOLE Nueva Ecija Field Office in partnership with Nueva Ecija Provincial PESO recently conducted a series of strategic consultation meetings and ocular visits with various educational institutions across the province.

Through the institutionalization of JPOs within schools, DOLE Nueva Ecija ensures that students gain direct access to essential career coaching, updated labor market information, and a more seamless transition into the workforce. These efforts focus on aligning academic preparation with industry demands, providing a clear pathway for graduates to find meaningful employment.
