VII.    IN-HOUSE TRAINING PROGRAMME

1.	The Personnel Office organizes an Orientation Programme for new 
        academic and administrative staff in September every year, and
        an induction programme for executive/support staff once/twice
        every year depending on the number of new recruits.  In response
        to the rising development/training needs for the purpose of
        enhancing staff performance and quality of service, the Personnel
        Office also conducts appropriate In-house Training Programmes
        for different staff groups on a regular basis, such as workshops
        on customer orientation, team work, problem-solving, stress
        management and performance management.

2.	The Centre for Educational Development also runs in-service staff 
        development programmes for staff and graduate students on
        important aspects of teaching and learning.  The Programme on the
        Practice of Higher Education covers issues such as learning
        motivation, teaching and learning styles, assessment of learning,
        evaluation of teaching, research supervision, multimedia learning
        environment, curriculum development and action learning.  To
        facilitate exchange and exploration, the seminars and workshops
        take place in small groups and in a friendly atmosphere.  The
        Programme is currently open to all teaching staff to encourage
        continuous development and sharing of experience between old and
        new members.  In-service faculty development is a requirement
        stipulated by the University in 1991 to nurture a culture of
        teaching excellence on campus.  For enrolment and information
        please contact Dr. Jack Chan at Ext. 7231, Miss Wendy Wong at
        Ext. 5396 or Ms Alice Yip at Ext. 7230.
