About 18,000 job opportunities will be offered by more than 60 companies through the “Selangor Mega Job Fair 2020” and the district career carnivals, organised by the Selangor government from October to December.
State Youth Development, Sports and Human Capital Development exco Mohd Khairuddin Othman said the programme, in collaboration with the Human Resources Ministry, Social Security Organisation (Socso) and JobsMalaysia, was aimed at addressing the issue of unemployment due to the Covid-19 Movement Control Order (MCO) period.
“The career carnival, themed ‘Working Selangor’, will start at the Shah Alam Convention Centre (SACC) on Oct 3 and 4 where about 5,000 job opportunities in various sectors, especially industry and service sectors will be offered. “For other districts in Selangor, the carnival will be organised in stages and we sincerely hope that the people of this state, especially those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, will take this opportunity to get new jobs,” he said.
