SHAH ALAM, Dec 9 — The ‘Jelajah Selangor Bekerja 2020’ (Selangor Jobs Exploration 2020) will be continued next year after receiving positive feedback from the public, says state executive councillor for youth development Mohd Khairuddin Othman.
He said the state government has applied to the National Security Council (NSC) for the number of jobseekers allowed to attend the careers fairs to be based on the size of the venue.
"If the programme is held in a stadium, then the number of participants could be increased to 200 or 300 people due to the large space.
"This year's career fairs had offered 18,267 job vacancies with qualifications starting from Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) up to degree holders, and yet the NSC does not allow a large number of participants," he told SelangorKini today.
The ‘Jelajah Selangor Bekerja 2020’ programme organised by the state government received 9,969 applications since its registration opened on September 15.
A total of 105 employers had participated in the tour series that started in Kuala Selangor on November 15, Gombak (November 21), Sungai Buloh (November 22), Hulu Langat (November 29) and Shah Alam (December 5 and 6).
Among the employment offered were professor, lecturer, Quran tutors, accountant, sales manager, research officer, technician, meter reader, call centre operator, terminal tractor driver, supervisor and storekeeper.
