As a member of the Hong Kong Construction Association, the Hong Kong Institute of Construction (HKIC) brings over 45 years of local training expertise. The institute showcased cutting-edge applications like smart site systems and construction robotics, highlighting how "advanced technologies are integrated across our courses." Hong Kong as an "international educational hub," the expo has successfully attracted global partners, noting strong interest from German and French institutions. The tech-heavy booth design aligned with a sector-wide trend: "Like other exhibitors, we featured AI and robots to broaden industry awareness." With 22 nations represented, HKIC observed a youth-oriented shift: "Many booths, including ours, used young presenters—this effectively draws new talent." The strategy proved successful, generating 30+ international collaboration inquiries and doubling student engagement versus 2023. Plans to expand VR training demonstrations were announced for future events.

The Fire Services Department (FSD) of Hong Kong, represented by Assistant Divisional Officer Kam Chi-hang from the recruitment team, showcased its five main recruitment positions at the Education & Careers Expo. These roles included Fire Officer, Contract Ambulance Officer, Ambulanceman, and Fire Station Control Officer. The exhibition aimed to attract potential candidates by highlighting "the physical and strength requirements for entry" and offering interactive experiences such as trying on uniforms and learning about daily responsibilities. The FSD also emphasised competitive "salaries, promotion ladders, and special allowances" to appeal to diverse age groups, from youths to elderly visitors. The department sought to raise public awareness about its specialised teams and career opportunities, hoping to "increase their understanding of FSD's work and spark their interest." The event was deemed successful, with a lively atmosphere and engagement from various demographics. Officer Kam noted, "The exhibition atmosphere is bustling," and appreciated the chance to connect directly with the community, reinforcing the FSD's outreach goals.

Manna is a final-year of master's degree student (soon to graduate) who attended the career expo with aspirations to become a teacher. As a first-time visitor, they were pleasantly surprised by the turnout, noting, "The atmosphere is great—I didn't expect so many people!" They headed straight to the Education Bureau's booth, where a principal enthusiastically spent "a full hour" discussing teaching opportunities, leaving them delighted: "I never imagined such warmth—they explained so much!" Their primary goal was to explore teaching careers, and they discovered the event through a school email offering a guided tour (though they opted for an early visit). The attendee praised the expo's energy and engagement, emphasizing how the principal's detailed guidance exceeded expectations. When asked about further qualifications, they mentioned plans to pursue a PGD despite their current education background, reaffirming their teaching ambitions. Overall, the experience was highly positive: "It’s my first time, and I just wanted to look around—but the enthusiasm was unbelievable!" The expo successfully provided targeted insights while fostering meaningful connections between attendees and exhibitors.

Scarlett a secondary school student currently enrolled in Visual Arts (VA) courses, attended the expo to explore diverse career pathways beyond their initial interest in artistic fields. As they explained, "We normally just learn from textbooks or teachers' lectures, but here professionals gave us in-depth explanations that helped us understand much more." This exposure proved particularly eye-opening when discovering unexpected options like firefighting, which appealed due to its "high salary and challenging nature" - aspects they hadn't previously considered. Their main objective was to broaden horizons, and the expo was delivered through immersive activities. They especially valued trying the firefighters' pull-up equipment and police reaction tests, noting enthusiastically: "There were so many different professions represented, all with experts explaining things and letting us participate in hands-on activities." These interactive elements effectively complemented the career advice received. When asked about the overall experience, they praised the vibrant atmosphere: "The energy was amazing - people were so passionate!" They particularly appreciated how "the staff explaining everything were incredibly patient and thorough." The event successfully transformed their perspective, moving beyond their original design-focused aspirations to consider wider possibilities.
