The Ministry of Finance has allocated RM1.7 billion for the Malaysia Short-term Employment Programme (MySTEP) in 2022, aiming to create 80,000 jobs. Job seekers can apply online at the MySTEP portal. This initiative, part of the JaminKerja campaign, offers short-term contracts in the public sector and government-linked companies. In 2021, the government secured over 63,000 jobs for graduates, exceeding targets. The global unemployment rate is projected to remain at 207 million this year, necessitating government policies to mitigate long-term impacts on the labour market and social cohesion.
