THE SURVEY - PLANNED BY THE COUNCIL'S ACCOUNTANCY AND ALLIED FIELDS TRAINING BOARD, THE WHOLESALE/RETAIL AND IMPORT/EXPORT TRADES TRAINING BOARD AND THE COMMITTEE ON MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY TRAINING WILL ALSO LOOK GENERALLY INTO THE TRAINING OF MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS IN HONG KONG.

-

QUESTIONNAIRES AND EXPLANATORY LETTERS WERE SENT TO SOME 6 000 SELECTED ESTABLISHMENTS TWO WEEKS AGO. INTERVIEWERS ARE NOW VISITING THESE ESTABLISHMENTS TO COLLECT THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES AND TO HELP IN ANSWERING THEM WHERE NECESSARY.

THE ESTABLISHMENTS ARE REQUESTED TO SUPPLY INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES, TRAINING NEEDS AND OTHER PERSONNEL AND TRAINING MATTERS.

THE CHAIRMAN OF THE TRAINING COUNCIL, MR FRANCIS TIEN, REITERATED TODAY THAT THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IN THE SURVEY WOULD BE HANDLED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND WOULD BE PUBLISHED IN THE FORM OF STATISTICAL SUMMARIES WITHOUT REFERENCE TO INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENTS.
