MORE than 90 knowledge-based jobs in Cyberjaya were offered to graduates during the first SME Jobhunt @ Cyberjaya, held last weekend.

Organised by Cyberview Sdn Bhd and Jobmarket Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the event aimed to create awareness among graduates of the many employment opportunities in the cybercity’s thriving technology and support services industry, and to offer a platform for the SMEs to source for knowledge workers in the SME sector.

A total of 155 graduates, short-listed by Jobmarket Malaysia from its database, attended the preliminary job interviews conducted by 14 SME companies based at the Cyberjaya SME Technopreneur Centre cluster.

The managing director for Cyberview, Redza Rafiq, said the company had succeeded in creating an enabling environment for SMEs to thrive and grow in the cybercity.

Feedback gathered by Cyberview shows that SMEs require about 80% candidates with computer background and 20% from engineering and human resources.

Chairman of Basis Holdings Tan Sri Abu Hassan launched the event. Also present were Jobmarket Malaysia’s CEO, Datin Paduka Jumaah Moktar,and managing director of Basis Holdings How Yeng Han.

“Jobmarket will continue to promote Cyberjaya as the place where graduates can live, study, work and play with easy access to a broadband community,’’ said Abu in his speech.
