With the remarkable track record of new investments into Penang in recent years, from 2019 to 2020, these project inflows have opened up multitudes of career opportunities for the State. My Penang, My Workplace, a campaign organized by InvestPenang via Penang CAT Centre, is aimed at attracting an influx of talents from across Malaysia and making Penang the Northern growth region in the country.

Under this campaign, a webinar series entitled Onwards & Upwards: Explore New Careers in Penang, with joint participation together with industry leaders from across varied industries, provided key insights into their esteemed organization in terms of work culture, cutting edge technology, growth and career opportunities. This initiative is a continuous effort to elevate Penang’s position as a workplace of choice. Apart from active jobseekers, a majority of our participants are final year university & college students from both local and private institutions all across Malaysia.
