In a statement, the DMW said 435 job opportunities are now open for Filipino workers via a government-to-government (G2G) hiring program with the Croatian Employment Services.
“We continue to expand government-to-government hiring initiatives that guarantee fairness, transparency, and protection for overseas Filipino workers,” the DMW added.
“This marks a significant step in expanding safe overseas employment opportunities for Filipinos in Europe,” it added.
It said the initial job openings in Croatia cover three major positions in the hospitality and food service sectors, particularly 255 room attendants, 110 waiters, and 70 cooks.
To qualify, the Department said applicants must be Filipino citizens aged 18 years and above, have completed at least 10 years of education (secondary level), possess a Tesda NC II certification in the relevant field, be physically and mentally fit for overseas employment, and be proficient in English.
