*******************************************************************************
A spokesman for the EDB said today (June 8) that the Virtual Info Expo will, through a one-stop online platform, provide the latest information and studies and career guidance on various articulation opportunities for secondary school graduates to make good preparation regarding planning further studies and career paths. This is the first time the annual Expo will be delivered online, and other students, parents and teachers are welcome to join.
"Around 30 institutions and organisations will display online booths at the Virtual Info Expo to provide information on locally accredited post-secondary programmes (including programmes eligible for government subsidy schemes as well as vocational and professional education and training programmes), the Diploma Yi Jin programme, relevant online platforms such as the Information Portal for Accredited Post-secondary Programmes, the Electronic Advance Application System for Post-secondary Programmes, the Concourse for Self-financing Post-secondary Education, and the Qualifications Framework," he added.
In addition, Hok Yau Club and the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups will offer studies and career guidance services to students.
The Virtual Info Expo supports a live chat function for institutions/organisations to answer enquiries directly online. There will also be live talks on multiple pathways, preparation and strategies for articulation to post-secondary education and sharing sessions by post-secondary students. Industry and institution representatives will also provide first-hand information about relevant programmes and career development in the industries concerned.
The Virtual Info Expo can be accessed at infoexpo2020.fste.edu.hk from 10am to 6pm on June 12 and 13. Prior registration is not required.
