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

Start strong. Find what fits. Your future begins at SM.

As the new year opens, SM Supermalls reaffirms its commitment to Filipino job seekers by welcoming 2026 with renewed energy, bigger opportunities, and a proven track record of impact through its nationwide Job Fair program.




Building on a landmark 2025, SM Job Fairs have evolved beyond traditional recruitment events into a full-scale career ecosystem—bringing together employers, job seekers, skills training, and government services in one accessible, community-based platform.




A Strong 2025 Performance, By the Numbers

In 2025 alone, SM Supermalls hosted 198 job fairs nationwide, connecting over 117,000 job seekers with more than 6,000 employers across industries. These efforts resulted in 15,000+ hired-on-the-spot, proving that accessible, purpose-driven platforms can deliver real employment outcomes at scale.




Beyond hiring, SM Job Fairs expanded their impact through partnerships with key government agencies, embedding skills training, digital upskilling, and on-site services directly into job fair venues—helping future-proof Filipino workers while removing barriers to employment.
