GELANG PATAH: A wealth of job opportunities will be beckoning in Johor – especially with massive developments like Forest City – but local graduates will have to rise to the occasion. The Forest City project is poised to be a model eco-metropolitan city that will create more than 200,000 job opportunities over the next 20 years. State Unity and Human Resources committee chairman R. Vidyananthan said the mammoth project will become a major source of employment for the state, and it is hoped that Johoreans will gear up for the challenge. "The project needs expertise in various fields and the state needs to groom the human capital, as Country Garden Pacific View (CGPV) Sdn Bhd, the developer of Forest City, is going to give priority to local graduates. In October, CGPV also signed an MoU with Yayasan Pelajaran Johor (YPJ) Education Group College for the internship, scholarships and recruitment of 293 students to Forest City.
