FOLLOWING PREVIOUS YEARS SUCCESSES, MORE AND MORE PARTICIPANTS ARE JOINING THE EXHIBITION AND THERE ARE A RECORD 25 EXHIBITORS THIS YEAR, REPRESENTING VARIOUS TRADES AND PROFESSIONS INCLUDING COMMERCE, INDUSTRY AND THE GOVERNMENT.
EACH OF THE PARTICIPANTS HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO REPRESENT ITS OWN FIELD OF JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND WILL SHOW THE NATURE OF WORK, ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS, CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT, TRAINING FACILITIES AND PROSPECTS.
+JUDGING FROM PRESENT INDICATIONS ALL THINGS ARE POINTING TO A BETTER AND BIGGER SHOW THIS YEAR, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
+EXHIBITORS WILL BE USING VARIOUS AUDIO-VISUAL DISPLAYS, INCLUDING SOUND-ON-SLIDES, PHOTOGRAPHS AND EVEN FILMS TO PROVIDE THE YOUNG VISITORS AN INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE SHOW.
+AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, THE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT ADVISORY SERVICE WILL AGAIN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH SCHOOLS FOR ORGANISED GROUP VISITS.
