MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1980

EMPLOYERS ARE ASKED TO SUPPLY INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF WORKERS EMPLOYED AND THAT OF THOSE UNDER TRAINING THE NUMBER OF EXISTING VACANCIES- AND A FORECAST OF ADDITIONAL WORKERS IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS.

ASSISTANT CENSUS AND STATISTICS OFFICERS WILL VISIT EACH OF THE ESTABLISHMENTS DURING THE SURVEY TO COLLECT COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES AND TO HELP EMPLOYERS COMPLETE THEM, IF NECESSARY.

A SPOKESMAN FOR THE TRAINING BOARD SAID THE INFORMATION COLLECTED WOULD BE HANDLED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND WOULD BE PUBLISHED ONLY IN THE FORM OF STATISTICAL SUMMARIES WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENT.

APPEALING FOR CO-OPERATION FROM EMPLOYERS, HE STRESSED THAT THE INFORMATION WAS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE FOR FORMULATING MEANINGFUL TRAINING PLANS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE INDUSTRY.
