MANPOWER NEEDS FOR INSTRUCTORS TO BE SURVEYED

****

A FOURTH SURVEY TO DETERMINE THE MANPOWER NEEDS FOR INSTRUCTORS IN INDUSTRIES, EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND TO UP-DATE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IN THE PREVIOUS SURVEY CONDUCTED TWO YEARS AGO, WILL BE HELD NEXT MONTH BY THE COMMITTEE ON INSTRUCTOR TRAINING OF THE HONG KONG TRAINING COUNCIL.

THE SURVEY - TO BE HELD FROM AUGUST 10 TO 29 - WILL COVER ESTABLISHMENTS SELECTED FROM THE MAJOR INDUSTRIES, EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS.

ITS AIM IS TO ASCERTAIN THE EXISTING NUMBER OF INSTRUCTORS AND TRAINING OFFICERS EMPLOYED, THE NUMBER OF EXISTING VACANCIES, AND A FORECAST OF ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTORS AND TRAINING OFFICERS IN THE TWO YEARS FOLLOWING THE SURVEY.

EXPLANATORY LETTERS TOGETHER WITH QUESTIONNAIRES ARE BEING SENT TO THE ESTABLISHMENTS.

DURING THE FIELD WORK SURVEY, INTERVIEWING OFFICERS WILL VISIT THE INDUSTRIAL ESTABLISHMENTS TO ANSWER QUERIES, ASSIST IN COMPLETING THE QUESTIONNAIRE IF NECESSARY AND TO COLLECT THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES.

THE EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS ARE REQUESTED TO RETURN THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMITTEE BY A PRE-PAID ENVELOPE BEFORE AUGUST 20, 1981.

THE INFORMATION COLLECTED WILL BE HANDLED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND WILL BE PUBLISHED ONLY IN THE FORM OF STATISTICAL SUMMAR IES WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENT.

THE COMMITTEE URGES EMPLOYERS SELECTED FOR THE SURVEY TO CO-OPERATE BY PROVIDING THE REQUIRED INFORMATION WHICH WILL ENABLE THE COMMITTEE TO DRAW UP RECOMMENDATIONS ON TRAINING OF INSTRUCTORS TO INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT.
