如果您有機會協助減少失業，振興當地經濟，或給予年輕人一些啟發，使他們踏入能夠成功、更有成果的事業—同時又能應用及發展您自己的職業技能—您會不會逮住此一大好機會？作為具有服務理想並受其鼓舞的扶輪社員，您有能力透過職業服務在您的社區實現有意義、正面的改革。

If you had the opportunity to help reduce unemployment, stimulate the local economy, or inspire young people toward successful, productive careers — all while applying and developing your own vocational skills — would you jump at the chance? As a Rotarian driven by the ideal of service, you hold the power to effect that sort of meaningful, positive change in your community through Vocational Service.

根據聯合國統計數字，我們目前這個時代，年齡適合工作的人，每十個人就有一個找不到薪資尚可的工作。在學校裡，許多年輕人不瞭解教育對他們將來在工作上的表現會有什麼影響。您的職業服務工作將在改進社區裡那些工作勤奮的人的生活品質方面，扮演重要的角色，因為他們需要您來指引方向及提供專業知識。藉由參與任何一項職業服務活動，例如擔任良師益友mentoring、就業輔導日career days、職業獎vocational awards、事業協助business assistance、甚或只是在例會介紹您所從事的工作，您可以將自己的經驗轉變成對其他人很有價值的資源。

According to United Nations figures, we live in an era in which one out of 10 people of working age can’t find a job that pays a decent wage. In the schools, many young people have no understanding of how education affects their chances for success in the workforce. Your Vocational Service efforts can play a vital role in improving the quality of life for those hard-working members of the community who need the sort of direction and expertise that you can provide. By participating in any of a number of Vocational Service activities — mentoring, career days, vocational awards, business assistance, or even just talking about your job at a club meeting — you can turn your experience into an invaluable resource for others.

職業服務的焦點：

Vocational Service focuses on:

• 在所有職業遵守並推廣最高的道德標準the highest ethical standards，包括公平對待雇主、員工、同業、競爭者，以及一般大眾。

• 認識所有有用職業的價值，不僅限於您自己的或扶輪社員們所從事的。

• 將您的職業技能貢獻給社會，以解決社會上的問題及需求。

• Adherence to, and promotion of, the highest ethical standards in all occupations, including fair treatment of employers, employees, associates, competitors, and the public.

• The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, not just your own or those that are pursued by Rotarians.

• The contribution of your vocational talents to the problems and needs of society.

職業服務的範圍很廣，從個人、扶輪社、職場，到社區都可以做職業服務。社員的角色在於根據扶輪原則Rotary principles來決定個人的及專業上的行為，並對於扶輪社所發展的計劃有所回應。扶輪社的角色在於在社區內增進就業機會，推廣公平良好的職場環境a fair workplace environment，並提高大眾對於職業的認識vocational awareness，這些都要透過發展一些能使各種職業分類classifications的社員貢獻他們的職業才能的職業服務計劃。如果能適當扮演這些角色，社區便能在幾方面獲益：扶輪社員雇主及員工所作所為能合乎道德，這對於同業、競爭者，及顧客會有很好的影響；扶輪社計劃能協助非扶輪社員non-Rotarians，並能對那些不熟悉扶輪理想the Rotary ideal的人產生正面影響。

The purview of Vocational Service covers a wide range, from the individual to the club to the workplace to the community. The role of the member is to maintain personal and professional conduct in accordance with Rotary principles and to respond to projects that the club has developed. The role of the club is to increase employment opportunities in the community, promote a fair workplace environment, and raise vocational awareness, all through the development of projects that help members of all classifications contribute their vocational talents. If these roles are handled properly, the community benefits in several ways: Rotarian employers and employees conduct themselves in an ethical fashion, which has a favorable impact on associates, competitors, and customers; club projects assist non-Rotarians and exert a positive influence on those unfamiliar with the Rotary ideal.
