PLASTICS INDUSTRY MANPOWER DATA TO BE UPDATED
****
THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY TRAINING BOARD OF THE VOCATIONAL TRAINING COUNCIL WILL BE CONDUCTING A MANPOWER SURVEY OF THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY FROM JUNE 14 TO 26.
ORGANISATIONS SELECTED AT RANDOM WILL RECEIVE QUESTIONNAIRES AND EXPLANATORY LETTERS ASK ING THEM TO SUPPLY MANPOWER INFORMATION SUCH AS THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES, VACANCIES AND INFORMATION RELATED TO MANPOWER TRAINING.
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY TRAINING BOARD,
MR DENNIS TING, URGED EMPLOYERS TO COOPERATE AND PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION BECAUSE THE SURVEY IS NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT IN FORMULATING MEANINGFUL TRAINING PLANS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
INDUSTRY IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
TOY MANUFACTURING, WHICH IS STILL THE LARGEST SECTOR OF THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY, CREATED A SALES RECORD IN 1984 WITH EXPORTS REACHING HK$11.5 BILLION, AN INCREASE OF 30 PER CENT COMPARED WITH 1983.
MR TING STRESSED THAT ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF SKILLED MANPOWER IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SUSTAIN THE GROWTH OF THE INDUSTRY AND FOR IT TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE IN THE WORLD MARKET.
HE ASSURED THAT THE INFORMATION COLLECTED WILL BE HANDLED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND WILL BE PUBLISHED ONLY IN THE FORM OF STATISTICAL SUMMARIES WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENT.
SURVEY INTERVIEWERS FROM THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT WILL VISIT SELECTED ESTABLISHMENTS TO ASSIST IN COMPLETING THE QUESTIONNAIRES. ENQUIRIES COULD ALSO BE MADE AT THE MANPOWER STATISTICS SECTION AT 5-454002 DURING OFFICE HOURS.
