Open to the public with no admission charge, the expo provides comprehensive information on education and job opportunities available in Hong Kong and overseas.

Four Career Theme Days Spotlight Popular Trends

Featuring two major zones - the Education Zone and Careers Zone - the four-day fair will host 880 organisations from 22 countries and regions, including educational institutions and consultants, professional associations, government departments, public organisations and private companies.

"This year's Education & Careers Expo will see the launch of new education-themed zones, including Creative and Educational Support Services and Tertiary Academy, to clearly define the opportunities available in further education and continuing education," HKTDC Assistant Executive Director Sophia Chong said at a press conference to introduce the expo. "In terms of employment opportunities, the 2019 expo features four career theme days, including three new themes - Culinary Arts, Exploring Construction and Tech & Creativity - as well as the popular Civil and Public Services theme day. We hope to put visitors on the path to success by presenting the latest information on education and employment trends."

On the first day of the expo (24 Jan), the Culinary Arts Day, co-organised with the Chinese Culinary Institute and International Culinary Institute, features four interactive workshops, including sugar blossom making and plating, to provide hands-on experience for visitors looking to work in the culinary industry. On the second day (25 Jan), the Exploring Construction Day, co-organised with the Hong Kong Institute of Construction, will invite industry experts to interact with visitors interested in a construction career, while seminars will focus on future developments in the industry.

As Hong Kong's innovation and technology sector sees rapid growth, more and more technology enterprises are setting up in Hong Kong and looking to attract fresh graduates. The Tech & Creativity Day (26 Jan), co-organised with the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI), will examine the latest trends and developments in the industry. One of the seminars will explore how augmented reality (AR) can be applied to develop Hong Kong as a smart city, using games such as Pokemon Go and Iron Man as examples.
