AMONG THESE PROPOSALS WERE THE PUBLICATION OF A SPONSORSHIP BROCHURE PROVIDING GUIDANCE TO PERFORMING GROUPS AND THE SETTING UP OF AN ARTS AWARD TO RECOGNISE MERITORIOUS SPONSORS.
MR WU, A BUSINESSMAN HIMSELF, NOTED: +BUSINESSES WILL INCREASINGLY FIND SPONSORSHIP OF THE ARTS A WORTHY INVESTMENT NOT ONLY IN STIMULATING AND PROMOTING THE ARTS AS AN EXPRESSION OF THE PEOPLE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IN THE MARKETING OF THE COMPANIES' OWN PRODUCTS AND THE PROMOTION OF THE IR CORPORATE IMAGES.+
CAREERS EDUCATION GIVEN MORE WEIGHT
****
YOUNG PEOPLE NEED PROPER GUIDANCE TO PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THEIR FUTURE CAREERS, THE COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR, MR J.C.A. HAMMOND, SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
THIS IS BECAUSE THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT IS NOT AS SIMPLE AND SECLUDED AS THE SITUATION IN SCHOOLS, HE ADDED.
MR HAMMOND WAS SPEAKING AT THE EIGHTH SEMINAR ON CAREERS EDUCATION ORGANISED JOINTLY BY THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT, EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND HONG KONG ASSOCIATION OF CAREERS MASTERS AND GUIDANCE MASTERS, AT THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG.
HE TOLD 100 CAREERS TEACHERS AND SPECIALISTS FROM RELATED FIELDS THAT THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT, IN PLANNING ITS CAREERS ACTIVITIES, WAS VERY CONSCIOUS OF THE NEED TO MEET THE EVER- GROWING AND CHANGING DEMANDS OF THE COMMUNITY.
TO SMOOTH THE TRANSITION OF YOUNG PEOPLE FROM SCHOOLS TO THE WORLD OF WORK, HE SAID, THE DEPARTMENT'S YOUTH EMPLOYMENT ADVISORY SERVICE (YEAS) HAD BEEN PAYING MUCH ATTENTION TO CAREERS INFORMATION BUILDING THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF PAMPHLETS AND AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS.
+BESIDES PUBLISHING CAREERS PAMPHLETS, WE ARE NOW COMPILING OCCUPATIONAL INFORMATION SHEETS ON 207 JOBS, HE SAID.
+THESE SHEETS SUMMARISE SOME BASIC INFORMATION ON A VARIETY OF JOBS, INCLUDING WORK DESCRIPTIONS, ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES.
+THEY SHOULD BE VERY USEFUL TO PROSPECTIVE SCHOOL LEAVERS WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT TO CHOOSE THEIR CAREERS.+
