SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1977

AS THERE HAS BEEN GOOD RESPONSE FROM BOTH THE STUDENTS AND THE SPONSORS, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WOULD BE LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPANDING THE SCHEME NEXT YEAR, MISS LAU INDICATED.

EACH YEAR, CIRCULARS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHEME ARE PASSED TO THE 245 MEMBER SCHOOLS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF CAREERS MASTERS FOR DISSEMINATION TO THE STUDENTS.

AFTER INTERVIEW BY A SELECTION PANEL, USUALLY HELD BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE VACATION, THE STUDENTS ARE ASSIGNED TO THE VARIOUS FIRMS AND ESTABLISHMENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE SCHEME, MISS LAU EXPLAINED.

THE ALLOCATIONS ARE MADE ACCORDING TO THE IR INTERESTS AND ABILITIES AND THEY WILL SPEND A PERIOD FROM SEVERAL WEEKS TO TWO MONTHS AT THE NEW WORK ENVIRONMENT, SHE SAID.

SHE ADDED THAT BESIDES PROMOTING THE SUMMER WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME, THE CAREERS SECTION OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH HONG KONG LAND CO., LTD. AND JOHN SWIRE AND SONS (H.K.) LTD. ALSO ARRANGES CAREERS GUIDANCE SEMINARS FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE SUMMER.

SINCE 1974 A TOTAL OF 400 SECONDARY SCHOOL LEAVERS HAVE BENEFITED FROM THESE SEMINARS. CAREERS TALKS ARE ALSO ARRANGED AT FREQUENT INTERVALS FOR SENIOR STUDENTS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS TO ACQUAINT THEM WITH THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO THEM AFTER FINISHING SCHOOL, SHE SAID.
