MANAGEMENT STAFF NEEDS BEING SURVEYED

***

1

THE VOCATIONAL TRAINING COUNCIL'S COMMITTEE ON MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY TRAINING WILL BEGIN A SURVEY TOMORROW (TUESDAY) TO ASCERTAIN THE MANPOWER AND TRAINING NEEDS OF MANAGEMENT STAFF IN HONG KONG.

QUESTIONNAIRES AND EXPLANATORY NOTES WERE SENT TWO WEEKS AGO TO ABOUT 2 000 COMPANIES, WHICH WERE SELECTED AT RANDOM. INTERVIEWERS FROM THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT ARE NOW VISITING THESE COMPANIES TO COLLECT THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES AND, IF NECESSARY, TO ASSIST IN COMPLETING THEM.

EMPLOYERS OF THESE COMPANIES ARE URGED TO CO-OPERATE BY PROVIDING INFORMATION, WHICH WILL BE USED TO FORMULATE MANPOWER TRAINING PLANS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF MANAGEMENT STAFF.

THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IN THE SURVEY WILL BE HANDLED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND WILL BE PUBLISHED ONLY IN THE FORM OF STATISTICAL SUMMARIES WITHOUT REFERENCE TO INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES, THE COUNCIL HAS STRESSED.

THE SURVEY WILL BE COMPLETED ON JUNE 30.
