MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1984
THE TRAINING BOARD BELIEVED THAT THE DECLINE WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC RECESSION IN THE EARLY 1980'S AND THE INCREASE IN ADOPTION BY THE LOCAL TEXTILE INDUSTRY OF AUTOMATIC MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT.
MR LEE ALSO NOTED THAT A TEXTILE INDUSTRY TRAINING CENTRE WAS BEING ESTABLISHED IN KWAI CHUNG TO PROVIDE PRE-EMPLOYMENT OFF-THE-JOB BASIC PRACTICAL TRAINING TO YOUNG PERSONS SO THAT THE INDUSTRY WOULD HAVE A STEADY SUPPLY OF WELL-TRAINED MANPOWER.
ABOUT 650 TRAINEES WOULD PASS THROUGH THE CENTRE ANNUALLY, THE SURVEY REPORT STATED.
THE SURVEY REPORT CONTAINS DETAILS OF EMPLOYMENT SITUATION AND MANPOWER REQUIREMENT FOR THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY AND IS NOW ON SALE AT THE GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS CENTRE, AT $19.50 A COPY.
