Industrial training

104.

The machinery for industrial training continues to expand and

improve. The Training Centre for the construction industry opened in

August and the Centre for the clothing industry will open this month.

105. On the recommendation of the Training Council, I shall shortly

make an order designating five further trades, which will more than

double the number of trainees covered by the Apprenticeship Ordinance.

106. The Government has accepted in principle the Training Council's

recommendation to extend training to the commercial and service sectors,

and has invited the Council to make recommendations.
