THE EXHIBITORS FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAME FROM MANY FIELDS, INCLUDING INDUSTRY, HOTEL SERVICES, ENGINEERING, PUBLIC TRANSPORT, EDUCATION, SOCIAL SERVICES, BANKING, AND PUBLIC UTILITIES.

AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, EACH EXHIBITOR WILL HAVE A DISPLAY STAND TO ILLUSTRATE, BY MEANS OF CHARTS, PHOTOGRAPHS, MODELS AND OTHER AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS, THE NATURE OF THE JOBS, ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS, CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT, TRAINING, PROMOTION PROSPECTS AND OTHER RELATED INFORMATION IN ITS OWN SPHERE OF WORK.

LEAFLETS, AND PAMPHLETS PREPARED BY THE EXHIBITORS WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO VISITORS.

THE SPOKESMAN POINTED OUT THAT AN ADDED FEATURE OF THIS YEAR'S EXHIBITION WOULD BE A PROGRAMME OF CAREERS-ORIENTED ACTIVITIES TO BE STAGED BY FOUR GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND TWO PRIVATE ORGANISATIONS AT EDINBURGH PLACE DURING THE EXHIBITION PERIOD.

THE PARTICIPANTS OF THESE ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES -- THE PRISONS DEPARTMENT, ROYAL HONG KONG POLICE, CUSTOMS AND EXCISE SERVICE, FIRE SERVICES DEPARTMENT, KOWLOON MOTOR BUS COMPANY AND THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TRAINING CENTRE -- WILL SEEK TO INTRODUCE TO YOUNG PEOPLE THE VARIOUS FACETS OF THEIR WORK AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES BY MEANS OF DISPLAYS AND DEMONSTRATIONS, ETC.

+THESE ACTIVITIES WILL BE BOTH INFORMATIVE AND ENTERTAINING. FOR EXAMPLE THERE WILL BE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, A SKIN-DIVING PERFORMANCE TO DEMONSTRATE THE SEARCH FOR NARCOTICS, DEMONSTRATIONS BY THE POLICE'S SPECIALIST UNITS, PERFORMANCES BY BANDS, DOG SHOWS AND DISPLAYS OF POLICE VEHICLES AND FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT, SAID THE SPOKESMAN,
