In addition, the Career Day featured a dedicated industry forum and a series of interactive workshops. These sessions not only provided participants with in-depth insights into the latest trends, career prospects, and entry pathways in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area's microelectronics industry but also focused on hot topics like job search strategies, workplace collaboration, and AI-powered resume optimisation. The event was designed to enhance participants' competitiveness and unlock greater career opportunities.
Addressing the Growing Demand for Microelectronics Talent and Promoting New Industrialisation
With the rapid advancement of AI, robotics and IoT technologies, the global demand for microelectronic components continues to rise. Supported by the government’s initiatives to grow the local microelectronics industry, the need for skilled talent in the region has become more critical than ever. Leveraging Hong Kong’s strategic location in the Greater Bay Area, HKSTP is spearheading talent development initiatives to drive sustainable industry expansion while ensuring workforce capabilities meet evolving market demands.
Ms Fanny Wong, Chief Talent Officer of HKSTP, shared: “Talent is the cornerstone of a thriving I&T ecosystem. At HKSTP, we actively create platforms for industry-academia collaboration and drive recruitment initiatives to connect young talent with the industry, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into the workforce. This microelectronics-themed career day addresses the specific talent needs of park companies. We are thrilled by the enthusiastic participation of young people, reflecting their passion and interest in this vital sector. HKSTP will provide cutting-edge infrastructure and services at the Microelectronics Centre (MEC), accelerating the growth of Hong Kong’s microelectronics industry and advancing the city’s new industrialisation efforts.”
Attracting Local and Global Talent to Build Tomorrow’s Tech Workforce
Building on this event's success, HKSTP will host a virtual career fair in June focused on the microelectronics industry, further strengthening its efforts to attract international tech talent. For local talent development, HKSTP recently announced the 'Talent Foundry' programme for Hong Kong university students. This initiative aims to enhance talent cultivation through close collaboration between industry partners and local universities, gathering innovation and technology (I&T) resources. The programme is now ready for students to join, targeting engineering, computer science and related majors graduating this year or next. Designed to provide continuous engagement activities for soon-to-graduate students and talent pipeline for park companies, it helps young professionals seamlessly transition into the I&T sector.
