SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT SERVICE FÖR UNIVERSITY GRADUATES
Two overseas university students have found jobs in Hong Kong
through the "Special Register" of the Labour Department's Local Employment
Service.
The special register is a complementary service to assist both
local university graduates and Hong Kong graduates from universities overseas
to obtain employment.
One graduate from an American university was placed in an administrative
post in a leading bank with starting salary of $1,800 and the other - a
United Kingdom graduate - was placed with a well-known trading company as
electrical engineer at $2,000 a month.
The Senior Labour Officer in charge of the Employment Division, Mrs.
SOO Mok Sau-ha said that although the register had only just been started,
it had already registered 70 graduates from universities in the U.K., U.S.A.,
Canada, Australia as well as the two in Hong Kong. "A number of the registrants
are immediately available for interview," she added.
The Special Register, she explained, not only provided free facilities
to graduates but also served the needs of employers.
She urged employers in industrial, commercial and the service sectors
to recruit professional, administrative and executive staff through the Special
Register.
