“The 26th Hong Kong International Education and Careers Expo” Opens

Organised by the Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong (CMA), the two-day “The 26th Hong Kong International Education and Careers Expo” (HKIECE) starts today (6 July) at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
       
A grand opening ceremony was held this morning to mark the beginning of this special occasion. The officiating guests included: Secretary for Labour and Welfare Dr Law Chi Kwong, Director of the Immigration Mr Erick Tsang Kwok Wai, Commissioner of Customs and Excise Mr Hermes Tang, Commissioner of Correctional Services Mr Woo Ying Ming, and Secretary General of Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority Ir Dr So Kwok Sang. They joined together with CMA President Dr Dennis Ng and other CMA office-bearers to unveil the expo.
 
Addressing the ceremony, Dr Dennis Ng said, “The HKIECE is carried out in larger scale and with richer content. It will offer a wider range of high-quality course options and job opportunities to help students, graduates and job seekers make informed decisions about their prospects, and better equip themselves for future.”
 
The HKIECE features four major zones, namely “Overseas Education Zone”, “Local Education Zone”, “Taiwan Education Zone” and “Careers Square”. By gathering more than 700 universities and higher education institutions in 18 countries and regions, the expo provides students and their parents with a wealth of information about academic courses and training programmes across different streams. In addition, there will be abundant job information and on-the-spot recruitment opportunities provided by various government departments, disciplined services, public organisations and private companies. 2,000 full-time and part-time vacancies, covering a wide variety of positions and industries, are offered for job seekers and recent graduates. A VR game booth is also available to help visitors get ready for any interview scenario.
 
The HKDSE Examination results will be released soon and some students may feel frustrated. We have an amazing line-up of speakers who will be sharing with students their advice on study pathways and career choices. For instance, Mr Steven Ma came today to give encouragement to young people by sharing his story of achievement and hard work. Hong Kong billiards sport athlete Ms Ng On Yee will also give a motivational talk tomorrow. Visitors can also seek personalised advice from the experienced counsellors and registered social workers.
