Date: 1978-1985
History: The Employment Services Agency (or ESA) was established within the Manpower Services Commission in 1974. The ESA came to an end as a separate body on 31 March 1978, when it was integrated as an official division within the Commission (the Employment Service Division; renamed the Employment Division in 1982). The division's main functions centred around: the development and improvement of employment office services; occupational guidance; occupational classification and information; overseas vacancies and redundancies through the national network of Jobcentres and Employment Offices; assistance through job placements, guidance services, and employment rehabilitation; and the development of professional and executive recruitment services through a network of professional and Executive Recruitment (PER) offices. The division was also responsible for services for disabled and disadvantaged people including employment rehabilitation.
