MR. TSE EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT MORE FIRMS AND ORGANISATIONS WOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE SCHEME TO ENABLE MORE SCHOOL LEAVERS TO BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH VARIOUS KINDS OF WORK BEFORE DECIDING TO CHOOSE A CAREER.

MOST STUDENTS WHO HAD PARTICIPATED IN THE SCHEME CONSIDERED THEIR TIME WELL SPENT. SOME HAD EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO SPEND A LONGER PERIOD OF ATTACHMENT WITH THE FIRMS OR ORGANISATIONS CONCERNED.

SOME FIRMS HAD COMMENTED THAT THE SCHEME WAS WORTHWHILE AND SHOULD BE EXPANDED. +THIS WAS MOST ENCOURAGING INDEED,+ MR. TSE SAID.
