2025 MYFutureJobs Premium X SPA Career Carnival at KLCC this November
PUTRAJAYA: The 2025 MYFutureJobs Premium X SPA Career Carnival will take place this November at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). Public Service Commission (SPA) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Jailani Muhamed Yunus announced the event as a key highlight of SPA's calendar. The carnival is organised in collaboration with the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso). Ahmad Jailani noted that similar events were held earlier this year at the World Trade Centre (WTC) Kuala Lumpur, Kapit, Kudat, and Putrajaya. He described the KLCC event as the 'grand finale' for 2025. The career carnival aims to raise awareness about job opportunities in both public and private sectors. Services offered include career advisory sessions, recruitment guidance, and job suitability checks. Ahmad Jailani shared updates on the ongoing MADANI SPA Career Carnival in Putrajaya. The one-day event had already attracted 3,000 visitors by morning, nearing its 5,000-target. A new feature this year is an open interview session for Veterinary Officer (Grade GV9) positions. The session targets final-semester veterinary students and eligible serving officers. Candidates were also briefed on the Public Service Entrance Evaluation (PSEE) and psychometric profiling. Ahmad Jailani emphasised inclusivity, with opportunities extended to the disabled (OKU) community. The initiative aligns with SPA's goal of achieving a one per cent OKU participation rate in public service. - Bernama

1.3 million govt job applications expected this year
BUTTERWORTH: Pensions may be a thing of the past, but the dream of a government job is alive and well. This is evident with applications to the civil service expected to hit 1.3 million this year, about 100,000 more than the year before, according to the Public Service Commission (SPA). Its chairman Datuk Dr Ahmad Jailani Muhamed Yunus said the estimate is based on application trends and the encouraging response to the Kembara Kerjaya SPA outreach programme. 'In previous years, we received up to 1.2 million applications and this year, we may reach 1.3 million. This indicates that interest in civil service careers remains high despite the discontinuation of the pension scheme. 'Therefore, we are intensifying our outreach efforts to ensure that job-seeking youths are well-informed of current opportunities in the public sector through SPA,' he told reporters at the Kembara Kerjaya SPA @ Penang 2025 programme here yesterday. The programme aims to raise awareness and provide exposure to SPA services in order to help individuals chart a career path in the public service. Ahmad Jailani said the Kembara Kerjaya programme has been held in Sabah, Sarawak, Terengganu and Penang during the first half of this year, attracting more than 10,000 visitors. Besides physical events, he said the programme is also conducted virtually and has drawn significant traffic to the SPA website, Bernama reported. He said the next edition will be held in Kelantan next month, followed by Putrajaya, Melaka, Perak, Johor and Kuala Lumpur, to provide the public with a platform for direct and interactive engagement with SPA personnel. 'Visitors will also receive guidance on application procedures, status updates and recruitment consultations through SPA briefing sessions during the programme,' he said. He added that the programme involves personnel from all major SPA divisions and the SPA Outreach Squad, who conduct briefings, consultations and other activities to highlight the commission's roles, services and information to target groups.
