The Talentbank Career Fair returns next month with the aim of substantially impacting Malaysia’s continuing skilled labour and unemployment concerns. With increasing digitalisation, innovation and globalisation, Malaysia and its businesses look to combat a shortage of skilled labour that is poised to hamper economic progress. Simultaneously, young Malaysian graduates are facing a potentially daunting time ahead with the unemployment rate for youth hovering at 11.8% — still significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels and the rising inflation hitting home.
With that in mind, the Talentbank Career Fair 2023 is set to provide a platform for fresh graduates, job seekers, and hiring employers to address both pressing issues by hosting over 100 top companies with over 10,000 available job positions. Commenting on the upcoming Fair, Ben Ho, CEO at Talentbank, said: “Our vision and mission at Talentbank is to help build career-ready candidates and help them achieve promising careers by connecting them with industry leaders who welcome world-class talent. With both employees and employers looking to bridge existing market gaps, we believe there is no better time for employers and job seekers to join us at Talentbank Career Fair 2023. Here they will be able to come together through the exchange of knowledge, experience, and unique networking opportunities to secure a more stable future for Malaysia’s talent.”
The Fair aims to empower fresh graduates and job seekers to engage in enlightening conversations about career development, rewarding roles, financial stability, and how to negotiate the current job market in Malaysia. The career fair will spotlight the country’s diverse range of companies across various industries including — Nestle, Maxis, Huawei, CIMB, Blacksire, Shell, Deloitte Consulting, Huntsman, KLK OLEO, BAT DBS, AIA Shared Services, Touch’ n Go, Public Bank, Allianz, SLB, TDCX, Coca-Cola, EY, OCBC, TikTok, Nippon Paint, IOI Properties, Alliance Bank, Carlsberg, and amongst others. Local, regional, and international companies will showcase their widespread talents, growth, and job opportunities. Career opportunities available include accounting, audit, taxation, banking, tech and computing, customer service, engineering, human resources, marketing, sales, project management and more.
