EIS benefits rise to RM25,000 as Perkeso steps up support for jobseekers

The Social Security Organisation's (Perkeso) Employment Insurance System (EIS) provides crucial support for unemployed workers in rebuilding their livelihoods through financial assistance, career guidance, and employment support services.

As stated by Perkeso's Deputy Chief Executive Azirruan Arifin, the system facilitated employment for 117,733 jobseekers between January and mid-August by offering services such as career counseling, job matching, and skill-enhancing training programs.

Perkeso's initiatives not only help contributors find suitable jobs quickly but also offer skill development programs to improve employability, as illustrated by beneficiary Hamdi Ismail's successful transition into entrepreneurship.

Furthermore, Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R.

Ramanan announced enhancements to EIS benefits, increasing total protection to RM25,000 per contributor starting October 1.

KOTA BHARU, Oct 18 — The Social Security Organisation’s (Perkeso) Employment Insurance System (EIS) helps workers who have lost their jobs rebuild their livelihoods through financial assistance, career guidance and support in securing new employment.

Perkeso deputy chief executive (Operations) Azirruan Arifin said 117,733 jobseekers had secured employment across various sectors between January and August 14 this year through the organisation’s employment support services.

These include career counselling, job searches and matching, registration and placement through MYFutureJobs, open interviews, career fairs and resume preparation guidance.

“These services give contributors faster access to job opportunities that match their experience, skills and labour market needs.

“For contributors who need to upgrade their skills, the EIS also provides training support through active labour market programmes, including reskilling and upskilling to improve their employability,” he told Bernama recently.

Azirruan said one of the main challenges was helping jobseekers secure new employment quickly, particularly when their skills and experience did not meet current industry requirements.

He said Perkeso provided financial and training support to help jobseekers overcome these challenges and improve their chances of securing employment.

For EIS beneficiary Hamdi Ismail, 54, the assistance helped him navigate a career transition after he left his job as a bank clerk to venture into business.

Hamdi began working as a bank clerk in 1993 before leaving the job in November 2018 to pursue entrepreneurship.

He now sells AG Mango Float drinks and grilled sausages in Kampung Laut, Tumpat, with the income helping to cover his family’s daily expenses.

Hamdi said the EIS assistance had supported him during his career transition and helped him plan his next steps.

“Although preparing mango float drinks is relatively simple, selecting the right mangoes is important to ensure quality,” he said, adding that the drinks are sold for between RM2 and RM3.50 per cup, depending on the size.

His previous contributions to Perkeso had also helped him develop his business, and he hoped more Malaysians would contribute to the scheme to secure protection for their future.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan had earlier announced that Perkeso would enhance EIS benefits, enabling contributors to receive total assistance and protection of up to RM25,000 each, effective October 1. — Bernama

社会保障组织（Perkeso）的就业保险制度（EIS）通过财政援助、职业指导和就业支持服务，为失业工人重建生计提供至关重要的支持。

印尼国家就业服务中心（Perkeso）副首席执行官阿兹鲁安·阿里芬表示，该系统在1月至8月中旬期间，通过提供职业咨询、工作匹配和技能提升培训计划等服务，帮助117733名求职者找到了工作。

Perkeso 的各项举措不仅帮助捐助者快速找到合适的工作，还提供技能发展计划以提高就业能力，受益者 Hamdi Ismail 成功转型为企业家就证明了这一点。

此外，人力资源部长拿督斯里R.

拉马南宣布提高EIS福利，从10月1日起，每位缴款人的总保障额将提高至25000令吉。

哥打巴鲁，10 月 18 日讯——马来西亚社会保障机构（Perkeso）的就业保险制度（EIS）通过提供经济援助、职业指导和新就业支持，帮助失业工人重建生计。

Perkeso 副首席执行官（运营）Azirruan Arifin 表示，今年 1 月至 8 月 14 日期间，通过该机构的就业支持服务，已有 117,733 名求职者在各个行业找到了工作。

这些服务包括职业咨询、求职和匹配、通过 MYFutureJobs 进行注册和安置、开放式面试、招聘会和简历准备指导。

“这些服务使贡献者能够更快地获得与其经验、技能和劳动力市场需求相匹配的工作机会。

“对于需要提升技能的贡献者，就业保险计划也通过积极的劳动力市场计划提供培训支持，包括技能再培训和技能提升，以提高他们的就业能力，”他最近告诉马新社。

阿兹鲁安表示，主要挑战之一是帮助求职者快速找到新工作，尤其是在他们的技能和经验不符合当前行业要求的情况下。

他表示，Perkeso 提供资金和培训支持，帮助求职者克服这些挑战，提高他们获得就业机会的机会。

对于 54 岁的 EIS 受益人 Hamdi Ismail 来说，这项援助帮助他顺利完成了职业转型，此前他辞去了银行职员的工作，开始创业。

哈姆迪于 1993 年开始在银行担任职员，之后于 2018 年 11 月离职，开始创业。

他现在在 Tumpat 的 Kampung Laut 出售 AG 芒果漂浮饮料和烤香肠，以此收入补贴家人的日常开销。

哈姆迪表示，EIS 的援助在他职业转型期间给予了他支持，并帮助他规划了下一步的发展方向。

“虽然制作芒果漂浮饮料相对简单，但选择合适的芒果对于保证质量至关重要，”他说道，并补充说，根据大小不同，每杯饮料的售价在 2 马币到 3.50 马币之间。

他之前对马来西亚社会保险机构（Perkeso）的贡献也帮助他发展了自己的事业，他希望更多的马来西亚人能够为该计划做出贡献，以确保他们的未来得到保障。

人力资源部长拿督斯里拉马南早前宣布，马来西亚社会保险机构（Perkeso）将提高就业保障计划（EIS）的福利，使每位缴款人可获得高达25,000令吉的援助和保障，该计划将于10月1日生效。——马新社
