MANPOWER RECOMMENDATIONS TO CLOTHING INDUSTRY

*****

TO MAINTAIN ITS COMPETITIVENESS IN THE EXISTING MARKETS AND TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND INTO NEW ONES, THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY HAS TO INVEST NOT ONLY IN MODERN PLANT AND EQUIPMENT BUT ALSO IN MANPOWER TRAINING.

THIS IS ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY TRAINING BOARD OF THE HONG KONG TRAINING COUNCIL IN A REPORT OF THE FIFTH MANPOWER SURVEY OF THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY.

THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED BY THE BOARD LAST YEAR WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE LABOUR AND THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENTS.

THE REPORT, IN BOTH ENGLISH AND CHINESE, WAS PUBLISHED TODAY AND IS NOW ON SALE AT $8 A COPY AT THE GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS CENTRE, GENERAL POST OFFICE BUILDING.

IT CONTAINS DETAILED STATISTICAL INFORMATION ON THE EMPLOYMENT STRUCTURE OF THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY, A FORECAST OF THE INDUSTRY'S TRAINING NEEDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON MEASURES TO MEET THESE NEEDS.
