Sham Shui Po shop owners encouraged to employ rehabilitated offenders

A street promotional activity was carried out today (November 5) in Sham Shui Po to call on business people in the district to employ rehabilitated offenders, support them and give them equal opportunities.

The activity paved the way for the "One company one job" campaign to be launched in Sham Shui Po District later this month.  The "One company one job" campaign is jointly organised by the Merchants Support for Rehabilitated Offenders Committee Limited, Hong Kong Sham Shui Po Industries and Commerce Association Limited and the Correctional Services Department (CSD).  Co-organisers include Sham Shui Po District Office, District Sham Shui Po District Fight Crime Committee, Sham Shui Po Police District and Industries and Hong Kong Commerce and Industry Associations.

Initiated by the business sector in Kowloon City in 2004, the "One company one job" campaign was extended to Wong Tai Sin in 2005, then to Sha Tin in early 2006.
