PETALING JAYA: Displaced workers and graduates looking for jobs have been urged to seriously consider a career in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry.
Multimedia Development Corpora-tion chief operating officer Ng Wan Peng said they could consider applying for the hundreds of different ICT jobs available.
Ng: The service sector will be a strong driving force behind the country’s econ omic growth.
“ICT jobs today are not confined to purely the technical. Today, we see a lot of service-based ICT jobs available from Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industries to Creative Multimedia.
“The service sector will be a strong driving force behind the country’s economic growth,” Ng said at the Star-Jobs h.e.l.p live interview session in Studio V, One Utama Shopping Centre.
Australia-wide Business Training chief executive Larry Gould spoke about the new age leadership programme which the Malaysian Institute of Management (MIM) was conducting.
He said it was aimed at moving away from the traditional education model – where an individual went to school, university and then joined the work force – with not much knowledge in managing the people around him.
“This is where new age leadership comes in – to provide people with the ability to improve and build on their soft skills,” he said.
Those looking for jobs could also attend the walk-in interviews at the Star-Jobs h.e.l.p Career Centre at the shopping mall today.
Interviews for positions at Singaporean retailer Tangs, automotive carpet manufacturer and supplier Sugihara Grand Industries and Star Publications’ subsidiary Leaderono-mics – a people development company – will be held from 2pm to 6pm.
To register, log on to www.star-jobs.com/help. Applicants are advised to bring along their resumes.
The Star-Jobs h.e.l.p is aimed at assisting those seeking re-employment during these critical times.
