VISITORS to this year's Education and Career Expo will find the event larger in scale with more exhibitors participating, whether local or overseas, private or government.
The Education and Career Expo '93, the biggest of its kind in the territory, is the second one jointly organised by the Hongkong Trade Development Council (TDC) and the Labour Department.
More than 180 exhibitors, among which 70 are from overseas, will set up 225 booths to display information on careers and local and overseas education during the four-day fair.
The overseas education pavilion will house 81 overseas universities and colleges from Australia, Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Switzerland, Japan, Macau, Taiwan, and Australia.
Local representatives include universities, polytechnics, colleges, professional schools, technical institutes, institutes offering language and distance learning programmes, and institutes offering further education and adult education programmes.
The Chinese University and the Hongkong Polytechnic, which are celebrating their 30th and 20th anniversaries, respectively, will join the exhibition for the first time.
Besides information about education opportunities, 18 government departments and 45 private enterprises and professional associations in Hongkong will introduce career opportunities to graduating students and the working public.
