The post-pandemic workforce is changing as independent contractors and full-time employees demand more flexible hours or remote working. Payroll and compliance provider Deel, which set up operations in Hong Kong earlier this year, is a one-stop platform for global hiring, payroll and compliance, collaborating with partners including co-working space WeWork, cloud-based accounting software firm Xero, and information technology consultants Hofy to localise compliance and payments.
Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 31st HKTDC Education & Careers Expo ran for four days late last month at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The expo ran in parallel with three other HKTDC events – the Hong Kong Book Fair, Hong Kong Sports and Leisure Expo and World of Snacks.
This month, one of the Hong Kong’s longest-running and most popular cultural events is officially part of celebrations to mark the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region – and is also the first major event to open to the general public following the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the city.
The 31st HKTDC Education and Careers Expo offers people of all ages a chance to find out how to acquire knowledge and skills, as well as put their learning into practice. On the jobs side, the expo features the Careers and Recruitment Square zones as well as the Youth Zone where exhibitors reach out to youngsters with bright ideas, comprehensive information and innovative programmes on internships, overseas work experience and career planning. Education exhibitors are divided into the Continuing Education, Local Studies and Overseas & Mainland China Education zones.
The 31st edition of the expo provides a valuable platform for educational institutions, government departments and private enterprises to communicate directly with the public by disseminating up-to-date information on further studies and career opportunities. The expo will have theme days to highlight career and education opportunities while the venue will have themed zones including a Career Zone and Recruitment Square.
