KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A total of 8,254 unemployed workers have been re-employed after receiving assistance from the employment service officers (ESOs), since the Re-Employment Placement Programme for Employment Insurance System (EIS) commenced in August 2018.

Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran said the EIS Employment Services Division started providing employment services through the Social Security Organisation Return-to-Work Program, or RTW.

The RTW programme is the first in Malaysia to provide individualised placement support for workers with disabilities, based on the case-management and individualised-placement approach, which includes facilitating persons with disabilities through interviews, organising job fairs, providing job coaches and direct support at the workplace.

He said Socso, under EIS, has also paid RM30.3 million in benefits to 34,208 workers who lost their employment and fulfilled all the requirements from 1st Jan 2018 to March 2019. Meanwhile, Socso chief executive officer Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed said 45 employers from various industry sectors were participating in the carnival by offering more than 5,000 jobs.
