CAREERS AMONG SCHOOL LEAVERS
School leavers in two Kowloon districts are to take part in an
unusual project beginning tomorrow (July 4) to help them choose a carcer
and then show them factories in action.
The project is to involve 126 boys and girls fresh from final
examinations in Shek Kip Mei and Kowloon Taai secondary schools, and is
the joint effort of the Social Welfare Department and the Youth Employment
Advisory Service of the Labour Department.
The idea comes from the headmasters of district schools, who
told community workers they believed school leavers could benefit not only
from talks on the openings available to them, but from visits to factories
to see for themselves industrial working conditions.
As a result, two days of lectures at the Tai Hang Tung Community
Centre have been arranged, on July 4 and 7, beginning at 2 p.m.
Between lectures and discussions, by invitation of the managements
concerned, the participants will visit Sonca Industries Limited and
Fairchild Semiconductor Limited.
Other talks on careers for school leavers in Wong Tai Sin will be
held later in the month in the Wong Tai Sin Community Centre.
Note to Editors: You are invited to attend the lectures and
accompany the students on their visits to the factories.
