Bias Towards White Collar Jobs Alleged
(N.Z Press Association) DUNEDIN, June 4. An engineering trade group believes that careers advisers in secondary schools are influencing boys to get into white collar jobs. Because of this, the. Manufacturing Engineers’ and Metal Trades Federation will make representations to the Minister of Education (Mr Kinsella). After the federation’s bi-annual conference in Dunedin today, the president (Mr A. S. Farrar, of Christchurch) said boys were being unduly influenced to enter white col-
lar jobs when there were equal opportunities and i careers in the engineering : industry. The federation had no comi plaint against the Education Department’s vocation guidance service but felt there should be much closer liaison between school advisers and industry. There was the feeling that in many schools the position of careers adviser was held too briefly so that teachers did not get opportunity to know fully the wide range of career openings through New Zealand.
