Jobstreet by SEEK Strengthens Commitment to Education Access through Collaboration with TARA Foundation

Jobstreet by SEEK announced the renewal of its collaboration with TARA Foundation, formalising an ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative that supports the organisation’s mission to provide free after-school tuition and meals to underprivileged students enrolled at TARA Centres across Malaysia.

Since the partnership began in 2023, Jobstreet by SEEK has supported TARA Foundation by sponsoring 50 complimentary job advertisements to date. This has helped the organisation successfully recruit staff members, enabling its centres to serve more than 1,000 students nationwide.

Under this renewed partnership, Jobstreet by SEEK will continue sponsoring complimentary job advertisements for the tutors, administrators and support staff TARA Foundation requires to operate its 29 learning centres across Malaysia.

The renewed agreement extends through 31 July 2026, giving TARA Foundation free access to Jobstreet by SEEK’s latest hiring innovations: AI-assisted job description writing, seekAi’s high-fit candidate prediction, analytics and SEEK Pass for verified credentials. These upgraded tools help TARA Foundation reach the best candidates faster, allowing its centres to focus on supporting students rather than managing lengthy hiring processes.

Supporting TARA Foundation’s Mission to End School Dropouts in B40 Communities

TARA Foundation’s “Mission Zero Dropouts” programme focuses on reducing school dropout rates among students from low-income, or B40, communities by providing structured academic support, nutritious meals and a safe environment to learn and grow.

Nearly 99% of students who drop out come from B40 families, due to barriers to education such as poverty, lack of parental support and unconducive home environments that significantly increase their risk of leaving school prematurely. This underscores the critical role of NGOs like the TARA Foundation, which provide ongoing academic and emotional support to vulnerable children to help them stay in school and succeed.

As the organisation expands to meet rising demand, the need for passionate and qualified talent has grown significantly.

“Our centres depend on committed educators and administrators who believe in the potential of every child. Jobstreet by SEEK’s support has been invaluable in helping us reach and recruit the best people to serve our growing number of centres,” said Krishna Raj, Human Resources Director at TARA Foundation.
