Human factor

As increasing numbers of people are looking for ideas on how to improve their career prospects, educators and employers need to be able to turn to an established and respected forum to find the right people. One such opportunity stands out as being in a class of its own – the HKTDC Education & Careers Expo 2010.

This event, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2010, turns the spotlight on people, bringing employers in contact with potential employees, and educators and professional bodies in contact with those looking to improve their skills and knowledge or to attain a professional qualification.

International connections

he 2009 expo welcomed 514 exhibitors, including educational institutes – from outside as well as within Hong Kong – together with public and private sector employers. Participants came from far and wide, with exhibitors from 14 countries and regions: Australia, Canada, the Chinese mainland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Macau, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, the UK and the US.

Personal touch

The expo features two main sections:

• The Education zone, which is split into “Hong Kong” and “outside Hong Kong” sections, gives educational institutes access to potential students. Exhibitors include colleges and universities, language schools, vocational training outlets and other institutions.
• The Careers section enables employers to connect with prospective employees. Last year’s section included commercial enterprises, government departments, semi-government organisations, professional associations and recruitment media.

Expo highlights

One of the highlights of this year’s expo is the Financial Planning Industry Zone, bringing together specialists in this increasingly popular field.

The expo features a number of special theme days at which the focus will turn to different aspects or geographical areas of education. In 2009, these were the education themes of US Study Day, Chinese Mainland Study Day and Continuing Education Day.

A wide selection of events and seminars on educational and career development opportunities, as well as education forums and career video presentations, will also be on offer throughout the expo.
