Thousands of jobs will be up for grabs as the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) launched its nationwide virtual job fair dubbed Bigay Trabaho: DPWH Jobs Fair 2021.
Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar said that the job fair, in partnership with the Department’s contractors nationwide, was conceptualized to provide local employment amid numerous layoffs due to COVID-19 pandemic.
