At least 500 Pasay City residents will be hired by the Swedish furniture-maker IKEA once it starts its operation in the city by August this year, Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano has announced.
The officials of IKEA paid a courtesy call to Rubiano on Monday and discussed various ways on how the local government and the multinational firm could work together and create more opportunities for the city and its people. IKEA Pasay is the biggest branch anywhere else that the world’s top home furnishing retailer has ever opened.
“This is a big opportunity for the people of Pasay,” Rubiano said, adding that “some of them [have] lost their jobs during the pandemic.”
During their discussion, it was revealed that IKEA opted to open its biggest branch in Pasay believing that it has the potential to grow and be successful in the city because of its strategic and prime location.
Likewise, Pasay City is fast gaining a reputation to be a very important center of business and development mainly because of the efficient and effective leadership of Rubiano.
Aside from the reserved 500 jobs, there are also other openings for local residents to apply to.
Also, it was learned that as part of its recruitment drive, IKEA will assign in Pasay branch some 20 Filipino staff who work from IKEA’s various stores abroad—primarily from the Middle East.
