KUALA LUMPUR: The Human Resources Ministry is to improve its JobsMalaysia automated online job-matching service so that the system can determine the actual number of graduates registered with the service who remain unemployed, the Dewan Negara was told.
Its deputy minister, Datuk Maznah Mazlan, said the names of registrants would remain in the system for a year, after which they would be automatically removed.
However, the problem was that graduates who had found jobs did not usually report the matter to the ministry, and their names remained in the system even after they had secured employment, she said.
She was replying to a supplementary question, from Senator Syed Husin Ali.
“It is only after one year that we will know how many registrants have been removed from the system,” she added.
When replying to the original question, from Senator Zainun A. Bakar, on the number of graduates registered with the portal, Maznah said that as of Dec 13, there were 79,186 graduates of public institutions of higher learning registered with the portal.
“Of the number, 57 (0.07%) held medical degrees, 1,424 (1.7%) Masters degrees, 43,313 (54.6%) bachelor’s degrees and 34,392 (43.4%) diplomas,” she said.
Maznah said the number of job-seekers registered with the portal did not reflect the actual state of unemployment among graduates because some of them held jobs and registered with the portal to get a better job or to change their place of work.
She also said that the number of employers registered with the portal exceeded 70,000. — Bernama
