The Career Zone brings together professional institutes, job-seeking platforms, government departments, public and private organisations and more, bringing over 3,000 job opportunities. Several employers will accept job applications and interview candidates on-site in the Recruitment Square.
The Education Zone has four major zones: Local Studies, Overseas, Mainland China and Macao Education, Lifelong Learning and Youth Zone. A number of local universities and post-secondary colleges, overseas universities, overseas and mainland education centres and education organisations are gathered to provide consultation services on further education in 16 countries and regions, including Europe, the United States, Asia and Mainland China. Working people can learn about on-the-job training programmes, including technology education, and pet care. The zone also provides information on career planning and continuing education for young people, as well as various job opportunities.
The Expo features four themes: Arts & Culture (25 January), Innovation & Technology (26 January), Greater Bay Area Opportunities (27 January), and Aviation & Maritime (28 January). Over 100 informative events will be held during the Expo, including sharing sessions by Tom Chan, Founder and Creative Director of Boom Theatre; Raymond Mak, Co-founder & CEO of Farmacy HK Limited; Vincent Ng, Secretary of Starian; and Joel Lee, Director of Wings Flight Academy.
