Mr. Peter Morrison
The local collaborative projects programme is run jointly by the Manpower Services Commission and Education Departments. The number of projects approved to date by region and industry sector are set out in the tables.
Those involved in a local collaborative project, both employers and providers of training, are required to contribute substantially to the total costs of the project. This contribution can be in the form of staff time, accommodation, clerical and administrative support, as well as by financial contributions. I regret that to quantify the level of contributions to these projects would involve disproportionate cost.
