INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL WORK TRAINING NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

Applications are now being accepted by the Institute for Social

Work Training for admission to its first course for the academic year

1973 to 1974.

The two year full-time non-university course will lead to a

Certificate in Social Work.

Giving details of admission requirements today, the Principal

of the Institute, Mr. L.B. MacQuarrie, said applicants must be at least

19 years of age.

"Preference will be given to those aged 21 or over, and those who have acquired some previous work experience though not necessarily

in the social welfare field," he said.

The minimum academic requirement is possession of a Hong Kong Certificate of Education and applicants should be able to read and write

Chinese. Candidates will be required to pass an entrance examination.

"The mature or older candidate who does not hold any of the

necessary academic qualifications will be required to prove his ability

to undertake the course. All candidates will be expected to have the

personal qualities necessary for social work and the final selection will

be by interview," Mr. Macquarrie said.

Details for admission are advertised in some newspapers today.
