Professional Development
Given the breakneck speed that ICT is advancing today,
a high-quality, well-structured training program and
accreditation framework are critical for keeping Hong
Kong ICT professionals competitive internationally.
We continued to promote a rigorous, all-rounded
Continuous Professional Development Program, and
act as a gatekeeper to uphold the standards through
the Certified Professional of IT (CPIT) scheme. With
full support from HKCS, the Hong Kong Institute for
IT Professional Certification (HKITPC) extended its
coverage to two new recognition-based disciplines,
i.e. CPIT Project Manager and CPIT System Operations
Officer, two of the more important aspects of our
practice.
With the advent of disruptive technologies such as
social media, mobility, cloud and big data, enterprises
and governments the world over are embracing the
notion of Smart Cities, in order to attaining sustainable
urban development and improving the quality of life
for their citizens. In November HKCS organised a Smart
City Study Tour to Wuxi and Suzhou, two of the modern
metropolises in China. This 4-day visit deepened the
participants’ understanding of how new technologies,
particularly Internet of Things (IoT), can change the
ways we live, work and interact. We will continue to
facilitate more exchanges with our counterparts locally
and abroad.
專業發展
有鑑於現時資訊及通訊科技發展一日千里，高質素
和結構良好的訓練計劃及認證架構，對維持香港資
訊及通訊科技業專才的國際競爭力十分關鍵。我們
繼續推廣嚴謹而全面的持續專業發展計劃，並透過
推行「Certified Professional of IT」（CPIT），扮
演維持標準的把關角色。在學會的大力支持下，香
港資訊科技專業認證局（HKITPC）把CPIT擴展到
兩個以認證為本的新範疇，即CPIT（項目經理）和
CPIT（系統操作主任），是實務操作中兩個較重要
的範疇。
隨着革新的科技（例如社交媒體、流動性、雲端技
術和大數據）的來臨，為了達致可持續的市區發
展，以及改善市民的生活質素，全球的企業和政府
均擁抱智能城市的概念。香港電腦學會於11月舉辦
了到訪中國內地兩個現代都市──無錫和蘇州的智
能城市學習訪問團。此項為期四天的訪問，加深了
參與者對如何把新科技，尤其是物聯網改變我們的
生活、工作及互動模式。學會將會繼續促使與本地
及外地的同業進行更多交流。
