Get to Know Jewellery industry with QF: Team Up to DIY
Our Association was granted with a funding of HKD100,000 by the Qualifications Framework (QF) to organise the “Get to Know Jewellery industry with QF: Team Up to DIY” workshop, which targeted secondary school students on 29 June 2019. The first part of the activity was “DIY Beaded Copper Wire Accessories”, teaching students basic metalworking skills for making DIY accessories. To encourage their lifelong learning spirit, we gave them an introduction on the background of jewellery industry and QF. The second part of the activity was “The Application of Online Platform in Marketing”, to cultivate students’ sense of marketing, we invited Mr Chois Choi, a media consultant, to share his experience of doing online promotion. The students put what they had learned from the sharing into practice by using TikTok to promote the accessories they made in the first part. We would like to send our heartfelt gratitude to Ms Jackie Hau, Senior Manager of QF, all the volunteers, the students and HKJJA staff for their participation in the workshop.
“Thanks HKJJA for giving me the opportunity to visit the Singapore International Jewelry Expo 2016. This was really an excited and memorable trip as I had never traveled overseas with new friends. During the trip, we learnt how to be independent through making decisions and creating schedules by ourselves. It was also a good chance for us to foster team spirit. Besides, the show was an ideal platform to experience the work of an exhibitor and get to know everything around us. There is no doubt that HKJJA gave us full support to encourage learning. I am sure that the information I obtained in this trip would be useful in the future,” said Lee Man, Tuen Mun Catholic Secondary School.
