More than 70,000 Form Six students will be getting their results for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination tomorrow. But only 15,000 of them will get a place at government-funded universities.
For many of the rest, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong held the Youth Employment and Training Expo in Tseung Kwan O on Tuesday.
Representatives from local tertiary institutions were invited to offer an introduction on their joint-courses and bridging programmes.
Tik Chi-yuen, deputy chief executive of the church, reminded students: 'Going to university is not the only option. Students should explore and develop their strengths which can prepare them for a future career.'
More than 2,000 vacancies in various industries, such as retail and tourism, were on show for students.
Most of the openings were from the catering and retail sectors.
