SM Supermalls and PMAP to expand job and upskilling opportunities nationwide

SM Supermalls and PMAP formally strengthened their partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at bringing more accessible career fairs and workforce development initiatives closer to communities across the country.

SM Supermalls and the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) formally strengthened their commitment to empowering Filipino job seekers through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) held at the SM Supermalls Headquarters in Pasay City. This partnership reflects SM’s steadfast support for PMAP’s HumanITy mission—a vision that emphasizes a human-led, digitally enabled, and future-ready Philippines.

Steven T. Tan and Engelbert T. Camasura lead the ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between SM Supermalls and the People Management Association of the Philippines, strengthening their shared commitment to expanding employment and upskilling opportunities for Filipinos nationwide.

Building on the success of their previous career fair collaboration, the partnership aims to expand the reach of nationwide job fairs while introducing more upskilling opportunities designed to help Filipinos become more prepared for the evolving demands of today’s workforce.




Steven T. Tan shares SM Supermalls’ continued commitment to 

creating meaningful opportunities for Filipinos through partnerships 

that support employment, growth, and community development.






The ceremonial signing was led by SM Supermalls President Steven T. Tan and PMAP President Engelbert T. Camasura, together with key executives and representatives from both organizations.


Through this collaboration, SM Supermalls and PMAP aim to create more accessible platforms that connect employers with qualified talent across different regions in the country. Beyond job matching, the initiative also highlights the importance of continuous learning and workforce readiness through career development and upskilling initiatives.

As one of the country’s largest most-loved mall networks, SM Supermalls continues to transform its spaces into venues that create meaningful community impact — from employment opportunities and government service access to programs that support growth and empowerment for Filipinos.

With PMAP’s extensive network of HR and people management professionals nationwide, the partnership is expected to further strengthen regional career fair programs and bring more opportunities closer to local communities.

Leaders from SM Supermalls and PMAP come together in a shared mission to empower Filipino job seekers through nationwide job fairs, professional development, and upskilling opportunities.

Together, SM Supermalls and PMAP reaffirm their shared mission of helping build a more inclusive, future-ready, and digitally empowered Filipino workforce through accessible employment and learning opportunities nationwide.
