OF THESE FIRMS, ATLAS ELECTRONICS CORP. LTD., SYLVANIA FAR EAST LTD., UNIVERSAL OPTICAL INDUSTRIES LTD. AND THE HONG KONG TELEPHONE COMPANY HAVE EACH EMPLOYED MORE THAN 50 DISABLED PERSONS.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY THIS REFLECTED THE GROWING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE ABILITIES OF THE DISABLED AND THE USEFUL CONTRIBUTIONS THEY COULD MAKE.
HE SAID THE JOB PLACEMENT UNIT WAS SET UP IN 1967 TO PROVIDE VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE TO THE DISABLED, TAP EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES AND PLACE SUITABLE DISABLED PERSONS IN OPEN EMPLOYMENT.
OVER THE PAST 12 YEARS, WITH INCREASING SUPPORT FROM EMPLOYERS, THE UNIT HAS FOUND JOBS FOR 3 760 DISABLED PERSONS, HE SAID.
THE SPOKESMAN POINTED OUT THAT RE-INTEGRATING THE DISABLED INTO NORMAL WORKING LIFE MEANT THEIR ECONOMIC USEFULNESS COULD BE FULLY RESTORED AND THEY COULD BECOME CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.
+WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION SERVICES, PARTICULARLY IN THE FIELDS OF EDUCATION AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING, DISABLED PERSONS ARE NOW BETTER PREPARED AND EQUIPPED FOR MORE COMPETITIVE AND DIVERSIFIED EMPLOYMENTS, HE SAID.
HE EMPHASISED THAT THE PROGRESS IN REHABILITATING THE DISABLED AND RE-INTEGRATING THEM INTO THE SOCIETY DEPENDED LARGELY ON THE CONTINUED SUPPORT OF LOCAL EMPLOYERS.
