The EAA participated in the annual Education and Careers Expo on 19th to 22nd February at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre organised by the Labour Department and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council. More than 5,000 people visited the Authority's booth. Most of the visitors showed a keen interest in career opportunities in estate agency, the application procedure for the licence, and registering and preparing for the qualifying examinations. Staff members of the Authority were on hand to answer their queries in detail.

As part of the activities of the Expo, the EAA also gave a seminar on estate agency profession. Mr Alex TANG Yee-man and Mr Eric LEE Chun-ming, members of the Authority, were the principal speakers. The seminar was a success and attended by over 80 visitors. Those who attended the seminar were keen to ask questions, to which both speakers gave well-illustrated answers. These are parts of the Authority's ongoing efforts to encourage young job-seekers to consider estate agency as a career option, and to help promote the industry to the community at large.
