At the thematic talk, a graduate of the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE) and an Education Advisor will give HKDSE candidates useful career advice, highlight the new opportunities in I&T industry and provide practical tips on further studies. The speaker, Chris LAM, is a graduate of IVE Higher Diploma in Software Engineering and is now the Chief Technology Officer of a medical information platform start-up.
