BANGI: Graduates of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) who have not yet secured employment are urged to take advantage of the MYFutureJobs portal to enhance their job prospects.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan said the portal provided by the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) offers various job opportunities from employers across the country and can serve as the best platform for graduates to launch their careers.
"If it's hard to find a job, you can apply via the MYFutureJobs portal provided by the Ministry of Human Resources," he told reporters after attending the convocation ceremony of the Advanced Technology College (Adtec) of the Human Resources Department (JTM) here on Tuesday (Aug 4).
Ramanan said the government will continue to help TVET graduates obtain jobs that match their qualifications and skills, in line with the industry's ongoing need for skilled labour.
Meanwhile, he said Adtec JTM graduates continue to receive recognition from the industry as their employability rate reached 95.5% while the employer satisfaction level towards the institution's graduates was recorded at 97.2%.
He said although the starting salary of graduates varies, some graduates earn salaries exceeding RM4,000 per month, particularly in fields such as maritime, which offer allowances and payments in foreign currency.
He also said that major companies including Perodua, Huawei, and 7-Eleven are among the employers offering job opportunities to Adtec JTM graduates, reflecting the industry's confidence in the quality of training provided by the institution.
Earlier, Ramanan attended the first session of the Adtec JTM Convocation Ceremony, which involved 637 graduates out of a total of approximately 1,400 graduates being celebrated on Tuesday.
Overall, a total of 8,255 graduates from 33 JTM campuses and two satellite campuses across the country received certificates and diplomas at this year's convocation ceremony, which was held in several sessions. — Bernama
