Thousands of jobs on offer at MCA fair on Thursday


PETALING JAYA: Those seeking employment are urged to attend the MCA’s job fair on Thursday which will see thousands of jobs being offered by various employers and an online job matching provider.

MCA’s ICT Resource Centre (MIRC) chief executive officer Andrew Wong said they were expecting more than 5,000 job seekers at the fair which will open at 9.30am at Wisma MCA.

“We urge everyone seeking employment to come to this job fair as there will be onsite interviews, career talks, free training and job -matching sessions for job seekers all day long,” he said in a statement yesterday.



More than 70 exhibitors have confirmed participation at the one-day fair including top-notch companies from various industries.

MCA president and Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat will open the fair.

It is part of Project Revitalise announced previously by Deputy Finance Minister and MCA vice-president Datuk Kong Cho Ha.

The project is an employment programme aimed at providing online part-time job matching and training opportunities for job seekers and employers.

“It is to promote and educate companies to consider hiring workers on a part-time basis rather than retrenching, freeze hiring or downsizing.

“The MCA job fair will be the national launch platform for Project Revitalise that brings employers and job seekers together,” the statement said.

The event is a joint collaboration among MIRC, YourPartTime.com, xTrain and MCA Youth’s economic special task force. For details, log on to www.YourPartTime.com/McaJobFair or contact MIRC at 1-300-88-MIRC.
