The People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP), the country’s largest organization of human resource professionals and people managers, held its highly anticipated 2025 PMAP Career Fair on 28 to 29 July 2025 at the Skydome in SM City North EDSA.
In partnership with SM Supermalls, the Career Fair connected more than 1,200 jobseekers with 32 reputable employers from PMAP’s network of over 1,800 member companies and 30 regional chapters nationwide. From entrylevel to executive positions, applicants explored a wide range of career opportunities in industries such as retail, finance, IT, manufacturing, and more. Several jobseekers advanced their careers and also created significant impact for businesses.
True to its mission of championing people development, the PMAP Career Fair went beyond job placement. Career talks were held on topics such as building personal brands for professional impact, the importance of hard and soft skills, understanding labor laws, and investing in TechVoc skills. Moreover, TESDA set up a booth to assist jobseekers on their training needs and refer them to free training sessions — empowering jobseekers with the tools they need to become more competitive and confident in today’s evolving workforce.
With trusted partners and valuable resources onsite, the 2025 PMAP Career Fair was more than just a job fair — it was a one-stop shop for launching new careers, building practical skills, and accessing lifechanging opportunities. Whether attendees were fresh graduates, seasoned professionals seeking new challenges, or individuals reentering the workforce, the PMAP Career Fair provided valuable opportunities to get hired, build new skills, and move ahead in their careers.
SM Supermalls’ consistent support for job-generating initiatives and TESDA’s commitment to accessible skills training, the 2025 PMAP Career Fair was more than just a job fair — it’s a launchpad for new beginnings.
