There were 879 jobseekers flocked a job fair held by Central Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Sub-agency at Gajah Mada Plaza, Petojo Utara Urban Village Gambir, Wednesday (7/31). The event is held up to today.

We'll evaluate this condition for better implementation

Central Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Sub-agency's Training, Positioning, Productivity and Transmigration Section Head, Helazurine Lindane, admitted the visitor number is below target by 1,500 people per day or 3,000 people during two days implementation.

She suspected that the condition of the road access to the location, which is still under repair, was the reason for the lack of visitors.

"We'll evaluate this condition for better implementation," she said, Thursday (8/1).

She added that there are 1,897 job vacancies prepared during the event from 40 private companies.

Acting Central Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Sub-agency Head, Noviar Dinaryanti, explained there were 642 jobseekers processed by companies during first job fair in 2024 at Thamrin City on May 28-29 ago. Of that number, 227 jobseekers now have job.

"We hope that this second job fair can also accommodate many job seekers, so that it can reduce the unemployment rate in Jakarta," she stated.
