The Department of Labor and Employment on Wednesday said it is pursuing a collaboration with the Department of Tourism to boost employment in the hospitality industry.
DOLE Public Service Director Rolly Francia said the amount of manpower needed by the hospitality industry would be determined through consultations with hotel owners and other tourism stakeholders. The collaboration with the DOT will involve the holding of job fairs in various parts of the country in coordination with the regional offices of both agencies and local government units.
“What we’re about to undertake aims to support the government’s economic recovery program by providing a platform for job seekers for job opportunities in various tourism sectors and allied services,” Laguesma said.
