After today's signing ceremony, the mill manager of the South
Sea Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Mr. Ditman Chang said: "Although this is the
first time we have set up apprenticeship training on this basis, we have
for many years been in the forefront as far as training in the textile
industry is concerned."
He said the lack of technical manpower-well-trained in both
practice and theory-Tas one of the most serious problems confronting
the textile industry. Without a ready and adequate supply of such people,
it would not be possible to increase productivity, improve quality
standards and upgrade products while keeping prices competitive.
"Organised apprentice training is, I believe, the answer to
Hong Kong's acute shortage of technicians, Mr. Chang said, "industry
as a whole must embark on a concerted training effort."
