Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Office to showcase GBA development opportunities at Education & Careers Expo
******************************************************************************************
A spokesman for the Office said that young people are the future, hope and pillars of Hong Kong. They are also contributors to the long-term development of society and the economy. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government attaches great importance to youth development, and supports Hong Kong young people to aim high and grasp the significant opportunities brought about by GBA development. The HKSAR Government continues to launch various schemes to provide concrete and targeted support to Hong Kong young people who aspire to pursue study, internship, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in the Mainland cities of the GBA, with a view to helping them catch the "high-speed train" of development of the country and the GBA.
This is the fourth consecutive year that the Office has set up a booth at the Education & Careers Expo. Apart from introducing various tailor-made support schemes and facilitation measures for Hong Kong young people through electronic display panels and interactive games, the Office will also set up a Greater Bay Area Information Station (GBAIS) at the booth. Through a simple and easy-to-use interface, the GBAIS introduces more information about the GBA, including basic information about the GBA cities, timeline of GBA development and the policy measures of the HKSAR Government in taking forward GBA development in different areas, thereby enabling visitors to know more about the development opportunities of the GBA. Photo-taking spot will be set up at the booth for visitors to take photos. Staff will also distribute souvenirs to members of the public. Souvenirs are limited and are only available while stocks last.
The Education & Careers Expo 2024 will be held at Hall 1 of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Admission is free. The Office booth will be located at Hall 1D (Booth 1D-D02) and will be open from 10am to 7pm from January 25 to 27, and from 10am to 6pm on January 28.
