Students concerned about job prospects can now tap into a computer system giving career information.
The Labour Department has set up a Bulletin Board System (BBS) based at two government career guidance centres.
Students with a modem linked to their computer can access a bank of vital careers information by calling 2573 6874 or 2838 9614.
The system provides details on more than 200 jobs, data on 39 different industries, annual reports on companies and government departments, and information on courses at vocational training institutes.
Once connected via the modem, students gain access through a simple registration to the centre. The Education Department's circulars are also distributed via the network.
Information can be downloaded and printed out at home, or at schools, where each career master will also be able to leave a message on the BBS and start up a forum.
