Hotels refuse to hire students

JAKARTA (JP): The chief of Jakarta office of Tourism, Post and
Telecommunications Ministry, Pudjo Basuki, said luxurious hotels
in Jakarta are reluctant to employ students during their school
holidays.

"From the 64 existing luxurious hotels in town there are only
six which employ high school students during their holidays," he
said.

The six hotels are Jakarta Hilton International, Le Meridien
and Borobudur Inter Continental in Central Jakarta, Horizon and
the Putri Duyung Cottages in Ancol, North Jakarta and Garden
Hotel in South Jakarta.

Pudjo said his office would send letters to 58 other hotels
inquiring why they are reluctant to help the government promote
the apprenticeship program.(mas)
