HONG KONG STUDENTS OVERSEAS INFORMED ON JOB OPPORTUNITIES
The Finance Committee of Legislative Council has approved funds
for the appointment of an Establishment Branch representative in London
who will help to recruit Hong Kong students living overseas for government
posts in Hong Kong.
This was revealed today by the Director of Education, the
Hon. J. Canning in reply to a question by the Hon. Wilson Wang in the
Legislative Council.
The representative is to be appointed because Hong Kong students
studying abroad are showing increased interest in returning to Hong Kong
for employment, especially in government service.
The Student Advisor and staff in the Hong Kong Office help by
notifying students of vacancies and interviewing potential candidates,
The Advisor also assists in the private sector by referring applicants
to the Productivity Centre, the Trade Development Council and other leading
business houses.
In addition, arrangements have been made for Government vacancies
to be advertised in the Hong Kong Digest which has a wide circulation among
Hong Kong people in the United Kingdom.
