More than 540 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions took part in the 20th edition of Hong Kong Education and Careers Expo, which opened Thursday at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
Education and careers were the fair's two major exhibit categories. The education section featured colleges and universities, language schools and vocational training outlets grouped into "Hong Kong" and "outside Hong Kong".
The careers section included companies, government departments and recruitment media.
The exhibitors were from Hong Kong, Australia, the Chinese mainland, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries and regions.
This year's event featured a new zone called the Creative Education zone, which presented a wide range of educational and training options, as well as career-development prospects in Hong Kong's cultural and creative sector, like music, arts and design and film-making.
Paintings, photographs, costumes and other student artwork from a variety of educational institutions were on display at the Creative Education Gallery.
In addition, over 50 career and education-related seminars will be presented at the fair, which will run through Sunday.
