Navigating Workforce Trends

The Manpower Committee had an informative meeting on manpower trends on 11 February. Committee Vice Chairman Mei Mei Ng provided an overview of the talent market development in Hong Kong and dissected the impacts of artificial intelligence on the workplace. Afterwards, Ir Dr Eric Liu, Deputy Executive Director of the Vocational Training Council (VTC), gave a briefing on the city’s current IT landscape. Given the growing demand for IT talent across various sectors, the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology, a training institution under VTC, was established to nurture secondary school graduates, working adults and industry practitioners by conducting comprehensive IT and relevant technology programmes.
