follow and how to train themselves for it.

This your Government provides through the Youth Employment Advisory Service of the Labour Department. This Service promotes career

education in schools through:

providing direct guidance and information to secondary

school students; and

organising training seminars for careers teachers in

secondary schools.

The Service now operates information centres in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. A third centre will open in Tsuen Wan early next year and we hope eventually to have one in each school zone.

support.
