Hui Yan-keung, dean of the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology, said that the Hong Kong government has actively advocated digital innovation and digital technology in recent years and supported the development of Hong Kong’s IT industry. However, there is currently a large gap in IT talents in Hong Kong, and only about 10% of DSE candidates choose to study IT professional courses. In addition, because emerging IT technologies are developing very fast, Hong Kong’s IT education system and courses are relatively slow to update, making it difficult to teach students the latest technologies and prepare them for employment.
IBM General Manager Pan Fengyao said that IBM will provide the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology with the IBM SkillsBulid free education platform, allowing learners to obtain IT course materials for free for self-study and classroom teaching. Learners who pass the exam can also obtain the widely recognized IBM Digital certificate. IBM will also provide internship opportunities for students from different backgrounds to prepare young people for positions where skills are prioritized.
