Train-and-place programme

MIRI: This city is the first in the state to conduct the Ministry of Human Resource’s train-and-place programme, which aims to reduce unemployment among the country’s youths.


NetOne Resources Sdn Bhd has been selected by the Institute of Global Management (IGM) to run one of the courses, ‘Skills Certificate in Sales Marketing’.

“It’s a three-month course trainees have to attend full time in order to receive a RM500 allowance from the government.

“Until now we have received more than 20 applications. It is open to unemployed persons aged 18 to 45.

“We may start with two classes,” said NetOne Resources director David Siaw told The Borneo Post during a press conference yesterday.



Principal consultant Joseph Tan was also present.

David said: “This is good news for our young people who are still looking for jobs. Through this government programme, those who attend courses gain the job skill, and the government will find a suitable job for them at the end of their courses.”

The teaching module for the Skill Certificate in Sales and Management includes topics like Effective Presentation Skills, Professional Selling Skills, Personal Attribute for Success, Digital Selling At Work, Marketing At Work, Power of Customer Service, English Language Communication and Corporate Survival Skills.

Applicants need to register with the company by filling in a registration form.

They should bring along a resume (CV), two passport-sized photos, a photocopy of IC and provide an email address and phone contact.

Successful applicants are required to open CIMB bank accounts for the government to bank in their monthly allowance.

Applicants are required to register online with Jobsmalaysia.

According to the ministry, jobs are guaranteed for those who successfully complete this train-and-place programme.
