1,274 Jobs Offered By 84 Companies At Medan Job Fair 2022

MEDAN - The Medan City Government stated that 1,274 job vacancies were offered by 84 companies at the 2022 Job Fair Medan at the Tiara Convention Center Medan, North Sumatra.

"There are 1,274 job vacancies from 30 companies in the offline (offline) job market, and 54 online (online) companies being offered," said Deputy Mayor of Medan Aulia Rachman, as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, October 12.

This job fair exhibition, he continued, is an effort to reduce the unemployment rate in the city of Medan, and job seekers can find jobs that match their skills.

Aulia said that in order to overcome the increasing unemployment rate, he and the Mayor of Medan are currently making a special formula to record the entire community, both the work of parents and the education of their children.

Data from the Central Statistics Agency for Medan City in 2021 states that the number of open unemployment is around 10.81 percent, in 2020 it is 10.7 percent and in 2019 it is around 8.53 percent with a total population in 2021 of 2,460,858 people.

"As regional heads, we think about innovations and what concrete steps to take to save job seekers. Especially for children who have just graduated from high school," he asserted.

The Vice Mayor of Medan said that after the data collection was carried out, the Medan City Government would provide training, and assistance and enter into the fields they wanted without spending a single rupiah.

"This is a concept that we are developing with the guardian. The training and assistance are provided, just like an official school. That is our main target, and it is free," said Aulia.

The Acting Head of the Medan City Manpower Office, Ilyan Chandra Simbolon, reported that the job fair exhibition was held online and offline.

For offline, it will only be held for one day, while online from 13-15 October 2022, job seekers have a Medan City ID card and have a job seeker card.

"The goal is to find job-seeking companies, so that there are job vacancies transactions. Then reduce unemployment in the city of Medan due to the COVID-19 pandemic," he said.
