Talent Cultivation
Enhancing competitiveness and facilitating growth
of Hong Kong’s businesses and industries through
applications of technology has always been a priority
at HKCS. In the past twelve months we devoted a large
amount of resources towards nurturing young graduates
and professionals to become competent members of
our trade.
On the youth front, we co-organised the Inter-school
Mobile Application Design Contest (IMADC) February
last year, to arouse the interests of high school students
in mobile apps. University students, on the other hand,
were engaged in the Robocon Hong Kong Contest in
June, which we hosted once again in partnership with
the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) and Hong
Kong Cyberport Management Company Ltd. (Cyberport),
with a view to boosting Hong Kong’s leading position in
the thriving robotics arena. These contests showcased
the ingenuity and problem-solving skills of our college
students, and created traction in grooming the future
practitioners.
Separately, in March 2014 our Youth Club successfully
organised the second IT Career Expo, which attracted
over 1,400 mostly young visitors, making it the
biggest event of this kind in Hong Kong. I am pleased
to announce that the next Expo will be held in Sep
2015. Moreover, the ICT Career Talk Series continued
to spark enthusiasm of school and college students,
where renowned industry leaders and entrepreneurs
would share their insights and thoughts, and inspire the
audience with ideas and wills.
Our efforts extended beyond borders in the annual
Shanghai-Hong Kong-Taiwan Youth IT Summer
Camp, held for the 1st time by Taiwan in July. This
4-day program offered students of the three cities an
excellent opportunity to interact and learn together,
through gameplays, workshops, site visits and many
other activities around a theme of mobile technology’s
impact on our daily lives.
人才培育
透過應用科技來促進香港各行各業的競爭力和發
展,一直是香港電腦學會的優先考慮。過去12個
月,我們投入了大量資源,培育年青的畢業生和專
才,讓他們成為業內具有才能的成員。
在培育年青人方面,我們於去年2月合辦「校際手
機應用程式設計大賽,以提升高中學生對手機應用
程式的興趣。另一方面,我們再度與香港工程師
學會和香港數碼港管理有限公司(數碼港)攜手
合作,於6月為大學生舉辦「全港大專生機械人大
賽,目的是鞏固香港在發展興旺的機械人範疇中的
領導地位。這些比賽展示了大專生的創意和解決
難題的技巧,並創造了打造未來從業人員的有利條
件。
此外,學會的青年會於2014年3月成功舉辦第二屆
「IT職業博覽」,吸引了超過1,400名主要為年青人
的人士參觀,成為香港最大型的同類活動。本人高
興地宣布,下屆博覽將於2015年9月舉行。「資訊
及通訊科技職業講座系亦會繼續燃點中學生和大學
生的熱誠,當中著名的行業領導和企業家會分享他
們的心得和意見,用意念和決心啟發參與者。
而一年一度的「滬港台青少年IT夏令營」更把我們
的工作延伸到境外,該活動於7月由台灣舉辦。該
項為期4天的活動為三地學生提供了絕佳的機會,
透過圍繞流動科技對我們日常生活所造成的影響為
主題的遊戲、工作坊、實地視察和多項其他活動進
行互動和共同學習。
