The 33rd Education & Careers Expo, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), will take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 25 to 28 January (Thursday to Sunday). Divided into Education and Careers sections, the Expo assembles over 800 institutions from 17 countries and regions, offering comprehensive information on studies, training and career opportunities. More than 3,000 job opportunities are available, with some employers offering on-the-spot interviews. The public is welcome to attend and it’s free of charge.

Speaking at today’s press conference to announce details of the expo, Jenny Koo, HKTDC Assistant Executive Director, said: “Themed Go with Your Passion, Go Beyond Limits, the Expo serves as a crucial nexus, congregating a multitude of educational institutions, professional bodies, public entities and private enterprises. These organisations collaboratively deliver up-to-date information on education, skill enhancement and job opportunities. Serving as a comprehensive one-stop platform, the expo enables students to engage exhibitors directly. This not only fosters a more profound understanding of both local, mainland China and international study programmes and considerations but also aids students in identifying suitable academic institutions. On the other hand, a number of government departments, public entities and private enterprises are actively recruiting at the Expo. This presents abundant opportunities for job seekers, enabling them to strategically map out their career paths.”
