Exhibition to promote employment of disabled
The Labour Department's Selective Placement Division (SPD) will start an exhibition tomorrow (Friday) in Tsim Sha Tsui to enhance public understanding of the working abilities of the disabled.
The exhibition will last for three days and will include video shows and the display of 18 boards introducing the work disabled employees are performing, the free placement service to the disabled and free recruitment service to employers being offered by the SPD.
"During the exhibition, employers who wish to recruit disabled workers can give details of their vacancies to our staff on-the-spot while disabled job-seekers can also register at the counter," Labour Officer (Selective Placement), Mr Byron Ng, said today (Thursday).
"Our staff will arrange interviews for both parties afterwards," he added.
The exhibition will be open from 10 am to 6 pm from tomorrow until Sunday (July 16) at the Western Gallery B, New World Centre, 20 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.
