Two handbooks will be published tomorrow to help Secondary Five graduates prepare for the release of their Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination results.

They will provide information on further studies, vocational training and career paths for S5 graduates.

The "Handbook for Form 5 Students: In Pursuit of Job and Continuing Learning Opportunities" focuses on the transition from school to work, providing tips on choosing a career and searching for a job, information on the job market, free employment services of the Labour Department, the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme, the Youth Work Experience & Training Scheme and continuing learning opportunities. 

Students can obtain the two handbooks for free from their schools, the Education & Manpower Bureau's Regional Education Offices, the Labour Department's Careers Information Centres and Public Enquiry Service Centres of the Home Affairs Department from tomorrow.

The electronic version of the handbooks will also be made available at the EMB's website and the Labour Department's website.
