SM Job Fairs Kick Off 2026 Strong with Nationwide Jobs, Upskilling, and Career Opportunities

As the Philippines enters a new year filled with promise and possibility, SM Supermalls continues to champion accessible employment opportunities for Filipinos across the country. Following a landmark year of impactful hiring initiatives, the success of SM Job Fairs in 2025 proves one thing: when public-private sectors come together to empower communities, lives change.

In 2026, SM Supermalls strengthens this commitment even further—ushering in bigger opportunities, wider reach, and a more energized push to connect job seekers to meaningful careers through its nationwide job fair program.




A Powerful 2025: Real Outcomes, Real Impact

The year 2025 demonstrated how SM Supermalls has evolved traditional recruitment events into a full-scale career development ecosystem. These job fairs brought employers, government agencies, training partners, and thousands of job seekers together—all inside safe, accessible, community-centered SM malls.
2025 Performance at a Glance


198 job fairs nationwide
117,000+ job seekers connected to potential employers
6,000+ hiring companies across various industries
15,000+ hired-on-the-spot

These numbers reflect more than statistics—they represent lives empowered, families supported, and futures strengthened. With partners such as DOLE, PESO, and prestigious employers including BDO, Coca-Cola, and SM Supermalls, the program delivered real and sustainable employment outcomes.

Beyond direct hiring, SM Job Fairs also expanded their reach through skills training, digital upskilling booths, government services, and youth career pathways—ensuring job seekers gain the long-term competencies needed for a rapidly evolving job market.


Zamboanga Opens 2026 With a Major Job Fair

SM is wasting no time jumpstarting 2026. Leading the new year’s lineup is SM City Zamboanga, hosting an exclusive two-day Job Fair on January 16–17, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Zamboanga City Coliseum.


Organized in partnership with:

Public Employment Service Office – Zamboanga City (PESO)
Department of Labor and Employment Region IX (DOLE IX)

The event will offer 400+ job openings from 20+ employers in:

Retail
Food & Beverage
Customer Service
Operations
Support Services

Strong early interest signals how essential and anticipated this event is. Over 4,000 pre-registrants have already signed up through PESO, and more than 5,000 applicants are expected to attend.

The previous SM Zamboanga exclusive job fair drew massive crowds—proof of the city’s rising economic activity and the community’s trust in SM Supermalls as a gateway to job opportunities close to home.

With the empowering message “Start strong. Find what fits. Your future begins at SM,” applicants are encouraged to align their career choices with their skills, ambitions, and long-term goals. On-the-spot interviews and face-to-face conversations with employers will once again take center stage, promising another record-breaking turnout.
