In order to update the contents of the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) Module and enhance the expertise and skills of the trainers in the conduct of the seminar, the Administration has set a series of seminar/workshops for providers of PDOS.

Two sets of training courses, one Basic and one Updating, have been designed, to suit the needs of PDOS providers. Participants of the Basic Training Course are the trainers who have been granted temporary authority and new applicants for accreditation.  While the Updating Course is for trainors who have already been accredited.

To elicit the active participation of the enrollees, they will be required to design their respective agencies' PDOS Program and conduct a mock seminar during the workshop, both of which shall be subject to evaluation.

Licensed agencies with accredited in-house-program and accredited PDOS entities are enjoined to participate in this activity.

Interested parties are advised to file their latest curriculum vitae with the Workers Education Division, Welfare Services Branch, Welfare and Employment Office.

Dates and venue of the seminars will be announced accordingly.

For the information of all concerned.
