+I SUGGEST THAT THESE COULD BE HARNESSED TO FORM A COORDINATED PATTERN OF JUNIOR CAREER SOCIETIES BASED ON THE MOST CONVENIENT CENTRES IN HONG KONG INCLUDING THE NEW TERRITORIES.
+ WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO OFFER THE POLYTECHNIC AS ONE OF THESE CENTRES NOW. TOGETHER WITH THE ADVISORY SERVICE, WE MIGHT EMBARK ON A PIONEERING VENTURE IN THIS DIRECTION.+
HOPING THAT THE COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR WOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER HIS PROPOSAL. DR. LEGG ADDED: +1 AM SURE THAT SUCH MEASURES ARE ESSENTIAL IF WE ARE TO PROVIDE THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE REQUIRE AND INDEED DESERVE IF THEY ARE TO CHOOSE THEIR CAREERS WISELY AND CORRECTLY BOTH FOR THE GOOD OF THEMSELVES AND HONG KONG.+
ON CAREERS *76, HE SAID THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS EXHIBITION IN THE ANNUAL CALENDAR COULD NOT BE OVER-RATED. THE ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR REFLECTS GREAT CREDIT ON THE STAFF OF THE ADVISORY SERVICE AND AM SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE GREATLY APPRECIATES THE EFFORT.+
HE SAID IT SEEMED TO DE AXIOMATIC IN MANY PLACES IN THE WORLD THAT YOUNG PEOPLE CHOSE AND ENTERED A CAREER IN A VERY CASUAL WAY AND WITH A CONSIDERABLE LACK OF INITIAL INFORMATION. YET THERE COULD BE FEW MORE IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN LIFE THAN THAT OF CHOOSING A CAREER.
THE DECISION ON CAREER CHOICE WAS NOT ONLY THE CONCERN OF YOUNG PEOPLE BUT ALSO OF THE POPULATION GENERALLY AND PARENTS IN PARTICULAR. IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL THAT PARENTS ALSO ACQUIRE ACCURATE CAREERS INFORMATION AND I URGE ALL PARENTS OF CHILDREN FACING A CAREER CHOICE TO ATTEND THIS EXHIBITION IF THEY POSSIBLY CAN.
+1 AM SURE THAT THE EXHIBITION WILL NOT GIVE THE ANSWER TO EVERY SPECIFIC CAREER QUESTION IN SPITE OF THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION PROVIDED. HOWEVER, EVEN IF THIS IS SO, A VISIT TO THE EXHIBITION WILL STILL PROVIDE SOURCES AND CONTACTS WHICH CAN BE FOLLOWED UP TO YIELD AN ANSWER TO ANY CAREER QUESTION,+
TOUCHING ON BLUE AND WHITE COLLAR WORK, DR. LEGG SAID THERE COULD BE NO DOUBT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURE AND PRODUCTION TO THE PRESENT OR
FUTURE ECONOMY OF HONG KONG.
+THUS THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE IN THESE AREAS ARE NOT ONLY GREAT BUT THEY ARE VERY SATISFYING AND REWARDING. WHAT MATTERS THEN IF PEOPLE GET THEIR HAND DIRTY' IN THE PROCESS?+
