AN ADVANTAGE OF HAVING SUCH A UNIT IS THAT IT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED TO HAVE A PERSON SPECIALLY DESIGNATED TO LOOK AFTER ONE OR TWO DISABLED STAFF AND THUS REDUCE EXPENSES SO INCURRED.
+ALL THE EMPLOYER HAS TO DO IS TO PROVIDE AN INSTRUCTOR AND OUR DEPARTMENT WILL PROVIDE TRAINING FACILITIES AT OUR CENTRES AND MEET ALL THE TRAINING EXPENSES,+ MR. KHOO EXPLAINED,
THE DIVISION HAD TRIED OUT THE IDEA WITH TWO EMPLOYERS AND THE RESULTS TURNED OUT TO BE SATISFACTORY TO BOTH PARTIES.
MR. KHOO APPEALED TO MORE EMPLOYERS TO ACCEPT DISABLED WORKERS.
THOSE WISHING TO DO SO ARE WELCOME TO CONTACT THE JOB PLACEMENT UNIT OF THE REHABILITATION DIVISION EITHER BY WRITING TO THE WORLD REHABILITATION FUND DAY CENTRE, KWUN TONG ROAD, OR BY TELEPHONING 3-419221.
