IT
for Youth Campaign
A competent and sufficient information technology workforce
is the most precious asset of Hong Kong as an information society.
However, you may be aware that, the number of students pursuing
IT-related courses has declined substantially in recent years.
Such decrease in the number of students in taking IT-related
subjects has a far-reaching impact to our industry. The downward
trend not only implies a shortfall of quality IT manpower but
also significantly stifles the healthy development of IT industry.
To encourage and prepare more youth to engage in IT education
and careers, I launched an "IT for Youth" Campaign
in Sep 2005. The purpose of this campaign is to make the public
aware of the full range of opportunities and rewards available
through studying IT-related subjects. A number of public awareness
programs since August will be conducted to demonstrate to young
people, secondary school teachers and career advisers that IT,
as a key driving force to the long-term economic growth of Hong
Kong, is an exciting, challenging and rewarding career for our
younger generation. For further details of the Campaign, please
