Onn Hafiz Ghani says the increase in premium wage offerings is also driven by initiatives under the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone.
He said the development meant young people no longer needed to migrate or commute to neighbouring Singapore in search of a better livelihood.
He said the more competitive salary packages would be aligned with applicants’ academic qualifications and technical skill levels.
“Fresh graduates can now earn RM4,000 and above based on their qualifications.
“For technical and vocational education and training (TVET) graduates, depending on the tier, they can earn between RM4,000 and RM5,000 or more. This is among the initiatives we have introduced,” he said when speaking at the Ayuh Johor Mahasiswa programme at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) here today.
Onn Hafiz said the increase in premium wage offerings was driven by initiatives under the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), which has become a key catalyst for the state’s economic development.
He said the influx of foreign investors, including a recent RM2 billion investment commitment from a leading US oil and gas company, would create thousands of high-quality job opportunities in Johor.
To realise this aspiration, he said the Johor government was the only state administration to implement an integrated collaboration involving all higher education institutions and relevant agencies under the Johor talent development council (JTDC).
He said the strategic initiative brought together key entities such as the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso), TVET institutions, higher education institutions, industrial training institutes (ILP) and HRD Corp to aggressively carry out job-matching efforts.
From January to April this year, JTDC facilitated 7,773 job placements. - FMT
