Project Description:

In support of Zonta International’s mission to empower women through education and economic opportunities, the club organized a full-day Job Fair for graduating students of the University of Perpetual Help System Dalta. The initiative aimed to bridge the gap between education and employment, especially for young women entering the workforce.

The club collaborated with Kalibrr Job Search, a leading online recruitment platform, to invite a diverse lineup of 15 participating companies, including major employers such as Security Bank, Accenture, Healthy Options, Sunlife, and LBC.

Notably, the fair also featured businesses owned by Zonta members themselves:

• Air Rich Industrial Systems Inc. (PE Lily Tan)

• BIG (Sis Betty Aw)

• Top Best (Dra. Lupe)

With over 700 student participants, the Job Fair provided attendees with access to career guidance, job opportunities, and direct employer engagement, fostering confidence and readiness as they take the next step toward economic independence.

Zonta International Goals Addressed:

• Goal 1: Economic empowerment of young women – The job fair helped graduating students, especially women, access meaningful career opportunities.

• Goal 2: Promoting women in the workforce – By facilitating employment linkages, the project supports women’s participation in the formal economy.

• Goal 3: Building partnerships for sustainable empowerment – The collaboration with Kalibrr and private companies reflects Zonta’s commitment to cross-sector partnerships that benefit young women.
