Exhibition to promote employment of the disabled

The Labour Department's Selective Placement Division (SPD) will hold a three-day exhibition from Friday (July 5) in Tsim Sha Tsui to promote employment opportunities for people with a disability.

There will be video shows and exhibition panels introducing the various disabilities, the work of the disabled and the services provided by SPD.

Moreover, an enquiry counter will be set up to answer public enquiries and distribute booklets and leaflets.

Employers who wish to recruit disabled workers can give details of their vacancies to the counter staff and disabled job-seekers can also leave behind their contacts for registration arrangement.

A quiz game with souvenirs will be held during the exhibition to enhance public understanding of the working abilities of people with a disability.

The exhibition will be held from 10 am to 6 pm each day at the Western Gallery B, New World Centre, 20 Salisbury Road. Admission is free.
