She was pleased that the EMSD and the Working Group have actively pulled together the efforts of the Government, the business sector and the community to support young people and provide diversified development opportunities to those who aspire to join the E&M industry. Miss Mak encouraged new members of the E&M industry to actively participate in the industry's activities, continuously upgrade their professional knowledge, and achieve a bright future in the E&M industry.
The Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, Mr Poon Kwok-ying, said that through school activities, social media, large-scale exhibitions and job fairs, the EMSD and the Working Group have been promoting the professional image of the E&M industry, and encouraging young people to join the industry to foster the development of the city. He encouraged young people to give full play to their strengths and overcome challenges proactively, so as to open a new chapter for the industry.
