"Our Youth Employment Advisory Service has been working towards this
since 1968 by compiling a large series of pamphlets on various careers, by giving
careers talks in the schools and by co-operating with the Hong Kong Association
of Careers Masters and other organisations working in the field. The scope of
the service's work is growing each year, and we hope it will continue to grow
even more quickly in future.
"At the same time, the department's Apprenticeship Training Unit is
working to solve Hong Kong's shortage of skilled labour by vigorously promoting
apprenticeship schemes in industry and by puting prospective apprentices in
touch with employers. And the Local Employment Service is continually placing
people young and old in jobs.
Major Step
"Now we are taking a further major step in helping young people plan
a happy and satisfying furture for themselves by staging the Labour Department
Careers Exhibition 1972.
"We hope that every student, young worker, parent and teacher in Hong
Kong will try to see it."
The exhibition, the largest of its kind ever held in Hong Kong, and
the first to be sponsored by the government, will be open from 9.30 a.m. to
7 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) and from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Some twenty exhibitors
divided into groups under general headings
-
such as office work, creative work, and practical and technical work will give
details of entry qualifications, training, promotion possibilities, salaries and
other benefits available in dozens of jobs ranging from automotive engineering
to nursing.
