KUALA LUMPUR: The job placement strategy through MYFutureJobs under the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) recorded a 28% rise in high-skilled positions in specialised industries last year.
PERKESO said the surge represents 32,887 placements in 2025, up from 23,638 in 2024.
“The milestone is part of MYFutureJobs’ success in helping 1.4 million Malaysians find work from 2020 to December last year.
“Of the figure, support for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) graduates was boosted with 92,896 placements secured in 2025 alone,” it said in a statement, Bernama reported.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan (pic) said the momentum aligns with data from the Statistics Department, which recorded a historic high of 9.21 million job openings.
“Through PERKESO, we have moved beyond traditional job matching to targeted interventions.
“Our focus is on high-impact, high-value industries such as electrical, electronics and green energy, which offer better wages and improve the quality of life.”
Ramanan said PERKESO’s MYFutureJobs aims to align labour market operations, job matching and policy interventions with industry needs and future skills, using an advanced system to match employer demand with job seekers’ profiles and preferences for precise skill alignment.
“Drawing on labour market insights from PERKESO’s social security system, MYFutureJobs offers robust data, forecasts and analysis to help job seekers, employers and career counsellors make informed decisions.
“This is the most effective way for school and university counsellors to give students solid career guidance by fully utilising all the features of MYFutureJobs,” said Ramanan.
MYFutureJobs now averages 7.5 million monthly visits, linking three million job seekers with over 100,000 employers nationwide.
The minister also said the network with 54 branches, 290 satellite centres, over 600 staff and partnerships with over 50 institutions, aims to reduce skills mismatches in the labour market.
