Participants will be able to apply on the spot for the Youth Pre-employment Training Programme, Youth Work Experience & Training Scheme and the Youth Self-employment Support Scheme.

They can receive counselling on further studies and employment opportunities, consult the Labour Department's online interactive employment service, and browse related websites.

There will also be talks on strategies for further study and vocational training, as well as advice on reducing stress while awaiting exam results.

Hard copies of the Careers Guidance Handbook for Secondary 7 Graduates, Careers Guidance Handbook for Secondary 5 Graduates and the Handbook for Form 5 Students: In Pursuit of Job & Continuing Learning Opportunities will be distributed at the venue.
