    “Kinahanglan gyud kaayo ni kay sa ato pang gisabutan sa OSYDA, kung mahimo, barangay per barangay mag-job fair gyud kita para ang kabatan-onan sa dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro, sayon nalang gyud ang pagpangaplay (We really need this expo and job fair that we are doing now. As what we discussed during OSYDA meeting, it would rather better if we can have a number of barangay level job fair, so that it would be easy for our youth members to file for job application),” he said.

    The SK official added that there are 40 local employers and four companies for overseas job who actively participated in the job fair. Hence, in behalf of youth leaders of the city and different barangays, he is thankful for those who supported the event.

    “Nagkahiusa [kita] to provide opportunities and services para sa atong mga kabatan-onan. Sama sa giingon sa usa ka famous nga leader – si Mahatma Gandhi, ‘The future depends on what you do today.’ So karong adlawa, depende na sa atong mga kabatan-onan, because this will be your ticket to your future,” she said.

    (They enjoined forces to provide opportunities and services for our youth members. As what a famous leader Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘The future depends on what you do today.’ So now, it already depends to the youth members because these will be their tickets to the future.)

    The expo included the conduct of services orientation of City Scholarship Office of CDO. USTP also interviewed applicants for its free digital skills training. To offer their livelihood and entrepreneurial assistance programs, Department of Agriculture-10 introduced its entrepreneurial online courses, while Department of Trade and Industry-10 had its Youth Entrepreneurship Program orientation.

    In the afternoon of the expo and job fair, an Oro Youth Month culmination activity called Kasadya 2022 was also done. Highlights of the event include the “Tingog sa Kasadya” competition. (IJBD/PIA-10)
