Training and Professional Development

Government IT staff are continuously updated with new knowledge and techniques through training programmes arranged by the OGCIO Training Section. Training takes various forms including face-to-face training and e-learning. Participation in computer conferences, visits to other organisations are arranged by the OGCIO to keep staff abreast of the latest developments in IT and to give them field experience in relevant state-of-the-art technologies.

In addition to training courses, the OGCIO also encourages and sponsors staff to take professional examinations and pursue continuing education relevant to their duties. Furthermore, workplace learning activities and a variety of learning resources are offered to encourage life-long learning.

We have a holistic and comprehensive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) process to unleash staff’s talent and passion, and to bring out the best in the Government IT profession to harness the benefits of IT for the Government and community. Every staff is required to have a CPD plan. Riding on the Government IT Skills Framework (GISF), the CPD process aims to facilitate colleagues to recognise and develop competencies and competitiveness to a higher level through training and professional development to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
