Hong Kong must continue to invest heavily in manpower training and development to further strengthen the competitive advantage of Hong Kong's world-class workforce, said Pamela Tan Kam Mi-wah, commissioner for labor of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, here Thursday.

"Towards these ends, we need to build up a huge database on education and career opportunities, and to make such a database easily accessible to members of the public," she said at the Education & Career Expo that opened Thursday.

She said the Education & Careers Expo plays a very important role by providing a one-stop channel for students, job seekers andthe general public to explore a diversity of educational and career development options.

The expo is jointly organized by the Labor Department and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council with a theme on "Bracing Up for Challenges."

Tens of thousands of students, young people and working adults flocked to the venue to gather the most up-to-date information on careers, educational and training opportunities.

"I am pleased to see that 283 local and overseas educational institutions as well as 60 careers exhibitors are joining the expothis year. Apart from the attractive booth displays, a series of seminars and video programs will provide in-depth information on various subjects of interests," Tan noted.
