PETALING JAYA: Youths looking for jobs have been hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and Perikatan Nasional Youth wants to help by making it easier to find employment.
Perikatan Youth chief Khairul Nizam Khirudin said Perikatan Youth had launched the Akar Umbi Pemacu Negara (AkuPN) website to help these youths in their job-hunting journey.
According to him, through the website, users could search for job opportunities under the Cari Kerja segment, while the Skil segment offered opportunities to upskill themselves. Businesses are also suffering in the pandemic and AkuPN offers entrepreneurs and small business owners to seek funding under the Sapot segment.
Sebanyak 69% lulusan perguruan tinggi baru dan yang akan datang bahkan mengatakan mereka siap menerima gaji yang lebih rendah sebagai akibat dari pandemi.
