CAREERS SEMINAR FOR STUDENTS

*****

MORE THAN 1,300 STUDENTS FROM 19 SECONDARY SCHOOLS WILL TAKE PART IN A CAREERS SEMINAR JOINTLY ORGANISED BY THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT AND THE ROTARY CLUB OF KWUN TONG NEXT WEEK.

THE SENIOR LABOUR OFFICER (EMPLOYMENT), MR. JAMES YEUNG, TOLD THE CLUB'S LUNCHEON MEETING SAID THE FOUR-DAY SEMINAR WOULD BE THE SIXTH ONE ARRANGED BY THE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT ADVISORY SERVICE DURING THE CURRENT ACADEMIC YEAR.

THE SEMINAR, BEGINNING AT 9.30 AM. ON TUESDAY (JUNE 3) AT THE KEI CHI MIDDLE SCHOOL IN KWUN TONG, WILL INCLUDE 15 MORNING LECTURES ON JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN VARIOUS FIELDS SUCH AS NURSING, SHIPBUILDING, SEAFARING, SECRETARIAL WORK, COMPUTER SERVICE, AIRLINE, GARMENT, HOTEL, BANKING, SOCIAL WORK, INSURANCE, TEXTILE AND APPRENTICE TRAINING.

MR. YEUNG SAID A FEATURE OF THE SEMINAR WOULD BE AFTERNOON VISITS TO INDUSTRIAL ESTABLISHMENTS OR SERVICE ORGANISATIONS IN KWUN TONG.

THE COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR, MR. BEIL HENDERSON, WILL OPEN AND ADDRESS THE SEMINAR.

MR. YEUNG ALSO RENEWED THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT'S APPEAL TO EMPLOYERS TO NOTIFY THE LOCAL EMPLOYMENT SERVICE OF JOB VACANCIES IN THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS.

THERE WERE STILL MANY EMPLOYERS, HE SAID, WHO HAD NOT MADE GOOD OR FULL USE OF THE FREE SERVICE WHICH HAS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR SUITABLE STAFF AS WELL AS JOB-SEEKERS.

HE ADDED THAT CO-OPERATION BY EMPLOYERS IN THIS RESPECT WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN ASSISTING THE MANY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAD REGISTERED WITH THE LES FOR JOBS.

YOUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE INVITED TO COVER THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE CAREERS SEMINAR BY THE COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR AT 9.30 A.M. ON JUNE 3 IN THE KEI CHI MIDDLE SCHOOL AT 20, SHUI NING STREET, KWUN TONG.
