KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — Nearly 16,000 job opportunities in various sectors will be available in three Jamin Kerja Keluarga Malaysia Career Carnivals 2022 in Perak and Selangor this week.
The career carnival series organised by the Ministry of Human Resources (KSM), through the Social Security Organisation (Socso), will be held at Arena TN50, Tapah, Perak tomorrow, offering over 4,000 vacant posts.
On Thursday and Friday, the carnival will be held at 1 Plaza, Kuala Selangor with over 5,600 job opportunities available and at Dewan Dato’ Abdul Hamid, Batang Kali, Hulu Selangor with over 6,000 employment opportunities.
Socso said in a statement today that various activities and services would be provided at the carnival, including assistance to register on the MYFuturejobs portal offering a total of 293,878 vacant positions for job seekers nationwide.
“This portal also provides 13,134 vacant positions in Perak and 85,349 vacancies in Selangor for local job seekers,” it said.
According to the statement, participating employers stand a chance to receive incentives from the JaminKerja Wage Incentive programme of up to RM42,000 for every intake of workers from targeted groups, including the unemployed, persons with disabilities (PwD), senior citizens and women.
Job seekers who manage to obtain employment, meanwhile, stand a chance to receive a one-off mobility allowance of RM500.
“The carnivals in these three areas are aimed at boosting the Jamin Kerja Keluarga Malaysia initiative to reduce the rate of unemployment in the country.
“It is also a manifestation of the government’s commitment to providing more comprehensive job opportunities for sustainable economic development. It is also to drive national rehabilitation efforts in a more structured manner, thus contributing towards the strengthening of the job market in the country,” the statement added.
Job seekers can visit the carnival via walk-in for open interview sessions, in addition to being encouraged to register at the www.myfuturejobs.gov.my portal before attending the carnival. — Bernama
