THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1977
AS FROM APRIL THIS YEAR IT ALSO TOOK OVER. THE PLACEMENT SERVICE FOR THE ABLE-BODIED UNEMPLOYED UNDER THE EXTENDED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE SCHEME.
SPEAKING ON THE IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE TO THE SERVICE, MR. WILLIAMS SAID, STARTING FROM THIS YEAR A SEMI-SELF SERVICE SYSTEM WAS INTRODUCED WHEREBY VACANCIES WERE DISPLAYED PROMINENTLY IN THE WAITING AREA OF EACH OFFICE.
+JOB SEEKERS CAN LOOK AT THESE, SEEK THE ADVICE OF THE INTERVIEWING OFFICERS AND TAKE AN ACTIVE PERSONAL PART IN CHOOSING THEIR JOBS, HE SAID,
ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT IN THE PIPELINE, MR. WILLIAMS CONTINUED, WAS A BETTER SYSTEM OF INTERNAL COMMUNICATION WITHIN THE BRANCH OFFICES OF THE L.E.S.
STARTING NEXT YEAR THE L.E.S. WILL HAVE A FACSIMILE TRANSMITTING NETWORK TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE VACANCIES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS OFFICES SO THAT JOB-SEEKERS REGISTERING AT ONE OFFICE MAY HAVE AS WIDE A CHOICE AS POSSIBLE OF JOBS.
THIS WILL MEAN THAT A VACANCY RECEIVED BY ONE OFFICE CAN BE TRANSMITTED BY TELE-COPIER TO ALL OTHER OFFICES THE MINUTE IT IS RECEIVED, THUS AFFORDING A BETTER SERVICE TO BOTH JOB- SEEKERS AND EMPLOYERS.
MR. WILLIAMS ALSO SAID THAT IN ORDER TO REACH OUT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE TOS CLIENTS THE L.E.S. WILL OPEN FIVE MORE BRANCH OFFICES BY APRIL NEXT YEAR.
