Summary
PERKESO and 7-Eleven Malaysia signed an MOU in Meru, Perak to create return-to-work pathways for insured people recovering from workplace injuries or health setbacks.
The programme will offer pre-employment training, workplace exposure, readiness support and potential jobs in 7-Eleven’s retail operations, with hands-on experience in customer service, product management and daily store work.
More than 2,700 stores nationwide give 7-Eleven a broad local footprint, which both parties said can reduce travel barriers and place participants in familiar community settings closer to home.
The partnership is the first formal employment-focused collaboration between the two organisations, with the first RTW cohort targeted before the end of 2026 and expansion planned nationwide.
With rising unemployment, can this single retail partnership become a national model for workforce reintegration?
Will this partnership offer real careers for recovering workers, or just another low-wage retail job?
