PM: 500,257 secure jobs through 27 govt initiatives. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 500,257 job seekers have managed to secure jobs through 27 initiatives implemented by the government as of Dec 3, thus surpassing the target of creating 500,000 job opportunities set by the Finance Ministry through the 2021 Budget. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said it was a very meaningful achievement considering the various challenges facing the labour market due to the Covid-19 outbreak since March last year, which resulted in the unemployment rate to soar to 5.3 per cent in May the same year. Among the key initiatives that have contributed to this success, he said, are the hiring incentive programme, PenjanaKerjaya, and the Malaysia Short-Term Employment Programme (MySTEP). "As of Dec 3, PenjanaKerjaya 2.0 has succeeded in providing placement for a total of 221,966 employees, exceeding the overall target of 200,000 thousand job opportunities for 2021.
