Workbank Partners with Canva to Enable Job Seekers Create Powerful Resumes

With its commitment to investing in job seekers, Workbank, a job site founded on malasakit or compassion and care, establishes partnerships that will give users access to free trainings and seminars.

Workbank partners with design platform, Canva, to give free and exclusive trainings that will empower job seekers to create resumes with simple but professional-looking designs.

Canva is an online tool and mobile app that enables users to design and publish anytime, anywhere through its simple drag-and-drop feature, built-in layouts, and intuitive controls.

“Unlike in the past, job seekers today don’t have to go through the tedious manual searching on newspapers’ classified ads and walking-in to offices to drop their CVs. With everything online these days, it’s very easy to submit your resume. The real challenge is catching the eye of the recruiter,” shares Reggie Fernandes, Country Head of Workbank.

“The fast-paced evolution of the ever-growing online job matching industry also means an increased number of competitions. We are partnering with Canva Philippines to hold workshops for job seekers hoping to equip them in their job search. They will learn how to design powerful resumes that will stand out from the pile. Filipino talents have so much potential and we want to help them translate this into resumes that are worth a second look,” Fernandes added.

Job seekers can access free and exclusive trainings with Canva after completing their profile on Workbank. Other trainings are also posted on Workbank’s website, and all the applicant has to do is invest their time by registering and showing up.

“We believe in the Filipino talent. We want to provide them with resources that will help alleviate some of the pressures and pains of job application. Filipino workers have the drive to succeed, and we would like to encourage them to take advantage of these training opportunities that can give them an edge among their peers,” said Fernandes.

About Workbank

Workbank is an online job portal that invests in Filipinos not only by connecting them to job opportunities across the country, but also by ensuring they are equipped with information and resources to help them be the most productive they can be. Established in 2018, Workbank is a Filipino-ran tech company with a heart. Their "malasakit" for the Filipino talent manifests in their exclusive perks and free trainings for job seekers.

Workbank, a New Job Portal Enters the PH Market

Purpose and growth might seem like mere buzzwords one wishes to anchor a career on, but such is the business of Workbank, a talent solutions platform that matches job hunters with companies.

A game-changer in the conventional, otherwise tedious and nerve-wracking job-hunt, Workbank is not a one-way street that favors only the companies. By putting people first, this platform ensures that applicants are ready and can stay in their ideal job, which is what recruiters ultimately look for in ideal candidates. It’s a win-win for both sides of the recruitment fence.

Taking that extra leap to encourage self-improvement and preparedness, Workbank partnered with companies like Grab and Zalora to provide discounts to job hunters who want to better present themselves. In addition to this, this job portal also has been providing free training to scale up a job hunter’s chances at getting employed. And all of these is anchored on a virtue that is uniquely Filipino, malasakit.

In the recent press launch of Workbank, its country head Reggie Fernandes said, “As a very young institution, we have a lot ahead to position ourselves differently. We are dynamic, we are agile, we have strong technology backing, and we have investors overseas that have put a lot behind what they believe is the story of malasakit. This is very important for us because we know how hardworking and talented Filipinos are.”

Their job-seeking development strategy comes with an E-Card that marks exclusive perks to Workbank users. The E-Card can be used for discounts at partner merchants such as ClassPass, Electric Studio, Urban Ashram and Wendy’s. Anyone who registers on the page and reaches a 70 percent profile progress can avail this E-Card in just a few clicks.

Workbank will continue to strengthen their job hunters’ skill set and credibility with the right partnerships and smart-match technology. This ensures that candidates are always provided opportunities for growth, not just through trainings but also through jobs that meet their skill and experience.

Fernandes also added that Workbank will not just be a portal but will have a unique roadmap for job hunters in search of a purpose-driven career. “Our philosophy is investing in people, so we operate in the principle of ‘Invest in good people and you get back in multiple fold for all the companies in our platform.’”

Workbank Spearheads Free Training for Filipinos in Partnership with SCALE

Essential skills. Employers these days are looking beyond the polished and impressive curriculum vitae. There are skills that enterprises need for better business efficiency. Workbank, a jobs and careers site, believes in investing in Filipino job seekers through free training and seminars, which will allow them to find the right opportunities.

By partnering with SCALE, Workbank is able to further strengthen its efforts by equipping Filipinos with these soft skills that will set them apart from other job candidates. Training and mentorship will scale up their employability.

In a recently concluded training Workbank spearheaded and in collaboration with SCALE, Filipino job seekers were able to elevate their holistic skills increasing their chances of getting employment the soonest possible time through the free training held last month.

The training was divided into two types: SCALE Basics and SCALE Pro.

SCALE Basics is a training program that prepares individuals to build their foundational skills such as Purpose, Values and GRIT. This is geared toward inexperienced job seekers who may have just graduated from college. SCALE Pro, as the name suggests, is intended for working professionals who want to build soft skills such as communication, analytical and critical thinking, and work ethic.

These soft skills are skills not taught in schools or universities. Students buried their noses in books to be able to master their specialization. SCALE focuses on building soft skills, which are a combination of values, people skills, communication skills, social, emotional and digital intelligence.

"We hope to complement job seekers learned technical skills from college in order for them to excel and be fully equipped in this age of the modern workforce; bottom line is one cannot just be good at being an accountant; you need to know how to communicate well and solve the issues you encounter and manage stress," said Carla Mumar, CEO and Founder of SCALE.

Workbank, for its part, strengthens the integrity of its pool of talents building credibility among companies and organizations who use the platform to find the right individuals with certain skill sets.

"At Workbank, we want to make sure that the candidates are ready for their job interview and have all the possible resources they can provide to make the journey better and life-changing," said Reggie Fernandes, country head, Workbank. "We want to help Filipinos have a productive and empowered future."

Workbank said this is just a start because it has committed itself to invest in Filipino job seekers so they will be able to tread the right career path and find the right fit for them.
