According to the “Unlocking the Economic Impact of Digital Transformation in Asia Pacific” conducted by Microsoft and IDC, it was found that 79% of jobs in Hong Kong will be transformed in the next three years, 60% of which will be redeployed to higher value roles, or reskilled to meet the need of the digital age.
With the growing importance of Data Science, Big Data and AI in different industries, we launched the new Microsoft AI Certification Programme in March with different tracks covering AI, Big Data, and Data Science to enable IT and business professionals to get equipped with future-ready skill sets for career development in this competitive job market. Moreover, we are extending our support to University Students by organizing free AI workshops to understand the concept and impact of AI in real-life applications.
The first workshop of our Microsoft AI Workshop Series was held at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), with overwhelming attendance of more than 160 students participating with engaged conversations and follow-up questions on the AI Certification Programme.
Following the success of our first Microsoft AI Workshop at PolyU, we have continued the series at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), which attracted a record-high of 200 and 230 attendees for each session. Students were interested to learn more about AI use-cases and our different tracks in our AI Certification Programme.
