S'gor to gather more big firms for state's job fairs
SELANGOR government will focus on collaborations with large corporations in the upcoming "Program Jelajah Jobcare Selangor".
State human resources and poverty eradication committee chairman V. Papparaidu said these companies tend to offer higher-paying positions, which were less common in previous editions of the programme.
'Some multinational and major firms have job openings that offer salaries of RM8,000 and above.
'We are currently in discussions with them to secure these opportunities.'
However, he said that such high-paying roles often required specialised certifications beyond a basic degree.
'A degree alone may not be sufficient.
'I encourage job seekers to take up available opportunities first and continue upskilling while searching for their ideal job,' he added.
Papparaidu said more than 3,000 individuals benefited from the programme last year, with jobs offered in the RM2,000 to RM8,000 salary range.
