With 20,000 jobs on offer from 650 companies, job-seekers will have a field day at the inaugural Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth Job Fair 2011, held from March 25 to 27 at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC).
Touted as Malaysia’s largest career fair ever, 500,000 job-seekers – from school leavers to fresh graduates – are expected to visit the three-day job fair.
“BN Youth’s main agenda in 2011 is to ensure the young generation are provided with enough job opportunities,” said BN Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin at the soft launch of the job fair at PWTC this morning.
“Unemployment is one of the main problems facing today’s youth,” said Khairy, who is also Umno Youth chief. “There are also many graduates who find it difficult to attain jobs that complement their qualifications.”
The companies participating in the fair would be from various industries including manufacturing, agriculture, services, hospitality, banking, engineering, IT and medical.
Khairy added that posts in the civil service would also be available at the job fair.
The job fair will also introduce an innovative barcode system designed to help create real-time submission of resumes to all prospective employers.
“The barcode system eliminates the need to print out many resumes for many booths. The job-seekers will only need to present their barcode to the prospective employer,” Khairy explained.
