FUNDS NEEDED FOR AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS
*****
A FUND-RAISING CAMPAIGN TO PRODUCE AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS ON CAREERS INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IS BEING LAUNCHED BY THE COMMITTEE ON EMPLOYMENT SERVICES OF THE LABOUR ADVISORY BOARD.
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE, MR CHAN SUI-KAU SAID THE CAMPAIGN WOULD HELP TO GUIDE YOUNG PEOPLE, BOTH ABLE-BODIED AND DISABLED, IN PREPARING THEMSELVES FOR A CAREER.
+THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT IS NOT AS SIMPLE AND SECLUDED AS THE SITUATION IN SCHOOLS, HE SAID.
+AND WE BELIEVE A BETTER CAREERS GUIDANCE SERVICE WOULD ENABLE YOUNG PEOPLE TO CHOOSE A CAREER BEST SUITED TO THEIR ABILITY, TALENT AND INTEREST.+
THE AIDS WILL FOCUS GENERALLY ON CHOOSING A CAREER. INTERVIEWING TECHNIQUES AND JOB-HUNTING SKILLS. ONE WILL BE SPECIALLY MADE TO CATER TO THE NEEDS OF DISABLED JOB-SEEKERS.
WHEN READY, THE AIDS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR REFERENCE AT THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT'S THREE CAREERS INFORMATION CENTRES. IT IS EXPECTED THAT OVER 50 000 YOUNG PEOPLE WILL MAKE USE OF THESE FACILITIES YEARLY.
MR CHAN NOTED THAT LETTERS INVITING DONATION HAD BEEN SENT TO LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS, INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATIONS, TRADE UNIONS AND OTHER INTERESTED BODIES.
DONATIONS IN CROSSED CHEQUES MADE PAYABLE TO THE +LAB EMPLOYMENT SERVICES FUND-RAISING SUB-COMMITTEE + MAY ALSO BE SENT TO THE HIGHER EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT SERVICE, LABOUR DEPARTMENT, FIRST FLOOR, SINCERE INSURANCE BUILDING, 4 HENNESSY ROAD, HONG KONG.
