TV programmes to promote disabled employment
A series of television programmes and magazine articles introducing the working abilities of the disabled will be broadcast and published next week to help boost the employment opportunities for the disabled.
Jointly produced by the Labour Department's Selective Placement Division (SPD) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), the television series will be broadcast at 7 pm on four consecutive Thursdays from August 3 on TVB Jade.
"The SPD and RTHK produced a series of television programmes on the disabled titled 'Under the Same Sky' last year. It was so well-received that we decided to produce another series this year under the same title to further impress the public on the working abilities of the disabled," Senior Labour Officer (Selective Placement), Mrs Jennie Chor, said today (Saturday).
