First question. Review of the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme 1. MR YEUNG YIU-CHUNG (in Cantonese): Madam President, in view of the imminent completion of the six-month Youth Pre-employment Training Programme, will the Government inform this Council: (a) of the respective preliminary comments on the Programme given by the organizations offering the workplace attachment places and the Programme participants, as well as the criteria it will adopt for evaluating the effectiveness of the Programme; (b) how it will assist the participants who have completed the Programme in seeking employment; and 3578 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 26 January 2000 (c) given that the age profile of the unemployed population in Hong Kong is becoming younger, whether it has assessed if the Programme is effective in tackling the problem of youth unemployment? SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER (in Cantonese): Madam President, (a) During the implementation of the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme, the Government has kept in close touch with the participating organizations and the Programme trainees to collect their opinions with a view to keeping the operation of the Programme under review and implementing improvement measures. Early this month, the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme Co-ordination Office of the Labour Department has started the mid-term review of the Programme. Besides making reference to the comments received in the past, the review also collated the opinions from a small-scale sample survey of trainees, training providers, youth organizations providing case management service as well as organizations providing workplace attachment places. According to the preliminary findings of the survey, all organizations providing workplace attachment places and 99% of the trainees surveyed considered that the Programme was worth implementing. We will conduct a comprehensive review of the Programme upon its completion in March this year to evaluate its effectiveness in two major areas: (1) whether the participants themselves approve of the Programme and whether they consider their self-confidence, job search and interpersonal skills as well as job-specific skills have been enhanced through participation in it; (2) whether the training providers and organizations providing workplace attachment places consider that the participants have shown improvement in various aspects, including their employability, on completion of the training. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 26 January 2000 3579 (b) The objective of the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme is to add value in the participants by enhancing their employability and competitiveness through the provision of a series of employment- related training courses and workplace attachment training, and to make them better prepared for future employment during the economic upturn. We do not expect all of them to be able to secure jobs immediately upon completion of the Programme, but we will take measures to help them enter the job market. These measures include: (1) To provide training courses and workplace attachment training in collaboration with certain sectors: For example, under the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme, we have jointly organized training courses and workplace attachment training in retailing and catering with the Hong Kong Retail Management Association and the Association of Restaurant Managers respectively. The participating organizations have expressed interest in employing those trainees who perform well after the attachment. (2) To hold employment seminars: For example, an employment seminar on assistant hair stylist was held in early January under the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme. Another seminar on hotel housekeeping will be held in mid- February. (3) Employment Exhibition: The Labour Department will run an "Employment Information Workshop" in mid-February for the first time for trainees who have completed the training to provide updated information on the job market, display job vacancies, provide employment service and so on. (4) Employment Service: The Local Employment Service of the Labour Department will set up a special counter to provide employment service for the trainees. The Department will also send letters to participants to invite them to post their personal particulars and

    Hong Kong’s Budget: Challenges and Solutions for the Longer Term Tony Latter Leo Goodstadt Roger Nissim February 2009 www.civic-exchange.org Civic Exchange Room 701, Hoseinee House, 69 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong. Tel: (852) 2893 0213 Fax: (852) 3105 9713 Civic Exchange is a non-profit organisation that helps to improve policy and decision making through research and analysis. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Civic Exchange. Preface The government’s budget is a political document. It provides financial resources for the achievement of government policies. Irrespective of high sounding commitments, the resources set aside for them indicate the degree of seriousness. How the government views what it will, and can, afford to fund is bound up with its philosophy on budgetary issues. Much of this philosophy has not changed for decades. What is particularly noteworthy is the lack of debate about the underlying assumptions behind the government’s philosophy. Even though there are contending views in society, as can be seen from the many criticisms of government policies and frequent acrimonious exchanges between officials and legislators, there has been little serious, sustained deliberation and debate about the policies and financing of long-term issues, such as those relating to demographic changes and the public services needed to meet them. This publication is Civic Exchange’s contribution to that much needed debate. We hope this will be useful to government officials, legislators, political parties, students and members of the public who have an interest in local affairs.
