Description

The project is an online website that targets job seekers to find a suitable job opportunity. It is a responsive platform that works both on desktop and mobile devices.

It aims to:
1. Provide appropriate job vacancies to newly graduated students, job seekers and disabled citizens that meet their qualifications.
2. Help job seekers to create their curriculum vitae based on their qualification and experience to create a standard that companies view and process.
3. Provide an easier way to register in the unemployment subsidy program, where a job seeker receives insurance subsidy in the unemployment period until he finds a suitable job.
4. Enabling unfairly dismissed employees to register in the program to receive compensation while searching for other job opportunities.
5. Encourage private sector companies to provide vacancies through the portal.
6. Provide professional training programs in local institutes to enhance the skills of the targeted group to become suitable candidates for a wider range of job vacancies.

Unemployment rate is being reduced through this project as a total of 26344 citizens were employed from January to December 2021 and 12841 trainees has benefited from training programs.
There are many impacts to the project, especially economically where providing job seekers with employment opportunities enhances the welfare of the community.
