The 7th Education & Careers Expo
The public are given a golden chance to get the most comprehensive and updated information on careers, education and training opportunities at the 7th Education & Careers Expo to be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from February 20 to 23.
Jointly organised by the Labour Department and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the Expo is the largest of its kind ever held in Hong Kong. It consists of an education section organised by the HKTDC and a careers section staged by the Labour Department.
Senior Labour Officer (Careers & Employment Agencies), Mrs Louisa Poon, said today (Sunday) that the Expo provided a forum where the young people could gain a better understanding of the labour market by having face-to-face contacts with experienced professionals from various fields and by attending seminars and video shows on different industries.
"We hope to assist the young people in mapping out their future career and the members of the public in further enhancing their career planning," Mrs Poon said.
She noted that the response from schools to the Expo was overwhelming as around 12,000 students from over 120 schools had enrolled for the group visit
programme.
"The Labour Department occupies a total of four booths and adopts an integrated approach in the presentation of its various employment services including Job Matching Programme, employment service for the people with a disability and careers education for the youth," Mrs Poon added.
The Expo is participated by about 183 exhibitors from various trades, government departments, professional bodies as well as local and overseas educational institutes.
It opens from 10.30 am to 7.30 pm on February 20, 10 am to 7.30 pm on February 21 and 22, and 10 am to 6 pm on February 23. Admission is free.
