As regards the Employment Services Division, Mrs Chan was told that the division's nine LES Offices were offering two modes of placement service for job- seekers.
Most job-seekers would use the self-help service where they pick their own choice of jobs from the vacancies available and LES staff would refer them to job interviews.
Unemployed persons aged 30 or above can join the Job Matching Programme which provides a personal service of in-depth interview, vocational counselling and job matching.
Since the programme was introduced in April, a total of 1,942 job-seekers had registered under the programme and 678 were placed in jobs. If the 175 job seekers who declined job offers were taken into account, the success rate of placement was about 44 per cent.
Mrs Chan was told that a Central Promotion Office on Employment was formed to focus promotional efforts on enhancing employment services for the disadvantaged groups including the unemployed and the disabled.
