In terms of career guidance and aid rendered to prospective job- seekers, the department's Youth Employment Advisory Service has proved to
be singularly active.
Set up in 1968, the service has disseminated information on a wide
spectrum of careers to young people, and their parents, by such means as
career pamphlets.
At present, it is primarily engaged in organising career talks in schools to encourage potential school-leavers to seriously consider their own abilities and interest before committing themselves to a particular career.
More than 300 talks for about 16,000 students were provided by the
Service in 80 schools throughout Hong Kong last year,
On top of this, it also played an active role in arranging factory visits and special briefings by qualified people from the various professions.
