Following the Virtual Career Expo held in 2021, Penang is hosting a physical Career Expo after a two-year hiatus at St Giles Wembley on the 9th of April 2022 from 10a.m to 5.00 p.m.
Hotels, attractions, and other services related to tourism are among the exhibitors at the expo. To mention a few, The Light Hotel, The Ascott Limited, Hard Rock Hotel, Cititel, Penang, The Top Penang, The Habitat, Rapid Penang, and many more.
The purpose of the exhibition is to offer an open recruiting platform for industry professionals to explore, analyse, and engage with existing talent and potential new hires. Many high-value job possibilities in the tourism and hospitality industries may be established using this platform, particularly for Penang citizens.
The Penang career expo ‘Ekspo Jom Cari Kerja’ bridges the gap between employment suppliers and job seekers and also contributes to the sustainability of Penang’s ecology as a tourism destination.
The Penang Career Expo “Ekspo Jom Cari Kerja,” which works under the Penang2030 industry engagement initiatives framework, seeks to close the gap of manpower shortage by connecting talents with employment opportunities, in this case in the hospitality industry, which is in urgent need of manpower. In other words, this expo links talents from all backgrounds to possibilities and vocations, allowing them to take advantage of the numerous prospects in Penang. The target of the Penang Career Expo is not to just recruit young talents from Penang to work in the hospitality and tourism industry, but also to lure experienced talents from other states to look for career prospects in Penang.
Penang Career Expo “Ekspo Jom Cari Kerja,” a Penang State Government effort through the Penang Convention & Exhibition Bureau (PCEB), supported by the Malaysian Association of Hotels Penang Chapter (MAH), Association of Tourism Attractions Penang (ATAP), Malaysian Association of Tour & Travel Agents (MATTA) and Malaysian Association of Theme Park and Family Attractions (MATFA) will be happening in Mainland on the 16th of April 2022 from 10 a.m. to 5p.m.
