Govt to sponsor job expo

JAKARTA: In a bid to provide opportunities to job seekers, the
central government will hold from April 27 to April 28 a job expo
at the Jakarta Fairground in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.

In an interview with Tempo News Room, Kirnadi, director of
employment and manpower development at the Ministry of Manpower
and Transmigration, said his office was planning to hold such an
expo at least every other year.

"We will establish a special team to supervise the job expos
to prevent possible fraud," he said.

He was referring to job expos that charged entrance fees,
fearing that such events were held only so that organizers could
make easy money from job seekers.

"Each company wanting to participate in the expo must submit
their company profile, including available job postings. Any
company that fails to prove they have vacant positions will be
subject to sanctions," Kirnadi said. -- JP
