機電業博覽2018吸納生力軍

隨着創新科技迅速發展、嶄新技術廣泛應用，機電業的工作範疇日趨多元化，加上未來將持續進行多項大型基建工程，機電業的發展潛力巨大，正是年青一代投身這個行業的最佳時機。

為推動香港機電業發展，機電工程署聯同香港機電業推廣工作小組於2月1日至4日在教育及職業博覽中舉辦機電業博覽2018，並在2月2日的「機電工程日」舉行「機電工程新力量」系列講座，邀請業界代表介紹機電業最新的培訓、職業發展前景和晉升機會，為行業吸納新血。

機電工程署署長薛永恒先生在講座開幕禮致辭時表示，政府提出大力發展創新科技，加上國家的「一帶一路」和「粵港澳大灣區」建設，香港的大型基建工程將日益蓬勃。他鼓勵有志的年青人加入機電行業，共同構建香港的未來。

在博覽會現場，我們利用不同的應用程式設計遊戲，包括本署成功研發的「建築信息模擬—資產管理」系統，讓參加者體驗科技如何協助維修保養醫院的中央空調系統。我們又透過機電常識問答遊戲，讓參加者獲取印有其肖像的機電飛虎隊隊員證，藉此提升他們對投身機電業的興趣和使命感。此外，展覽攤位吸引不少學生、家長及其他公眾人士參觀，他們踴躍查詢投身機電業的途徑。

香港機電業推廣工作小組由本署與業界18個機構、工會及商會組成，致力促進機電業的可持續發展。



“E&M Gear Up!” at Electrical and Mechanical
Trades Expo 2018

With the rapid development of innovation and technology as well as extensive use of novel technologies, the scope of work in the E&M industry has become increasingly diversified. Meanwhile, a number of major infrastructure projects will continue to proceed in the coming years, showing huge potential for the development of the E&M industry. It is now the best time for young people to join the industry.

To promote the development of the E&M industry in Hong Kong, EMSD and the Hong Kong E&M Trade Promotion Working Group jointly hosted the E&M Trades Expo 2018 at the Education & Careers Expo between 1 and 4 February. A seminar series entitled “E&M Gear Up!” was also held on the E&M Day on 2 February. Representatives of the industry were invited to introduce the latest information on training, career prospects and promotion pathways of the E&M trade, with a view to attracting new talents to the industry.

Addressing the opening ceremony, the Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, Mr. Sit Wing-hang, said that the Government was committed to the development of innovation and technology. With the country’s Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area Development, there would be an increasing number of major infrastructure projects in Hong Kong. He encouraged aspiring young people to join the E&M industry to build the future of Hong Kong together.

At the Expo, we designed games with different applications, including the Building Information Modelling – Asset Management (BIM-AM) system that we developed, to enable audience experience how technology could help maintain the central air-conditioning system at a hospital. We also conducted E&M quizzes and awarded every participant an E&M A-Team membership card with his/her portrait printed on it. Through these activities, we hoped to arouse young people’s interest in joining the industry and their sense of commitment. Moreover, the exhibition booth attracted a large number of students, parents and other members of the public who were eager to obtain information about ways of joining the industry.

The Hong Kong E&M Trade Promotion Working Group, formed by EMSD and 18 trade organisations, unions and associations, is committed to promoting the sustainable development of the E&M industry.
