As a result of the diversification of work tasks and rapid
changes in modern organizations and professions, people now
have to constantly upgrade themselves to cope with the increasingly
complex tasks they have to perform, be they professionals
or generalists in commerce, finance or industry. Related to
this development, demand for quality continuing and professional
training has been increasing also at a rapid rate. In this
connection, schools and units of the University have offered
different types of continuing and professional education programs
at various levels on a self-financing basis to cater for the
lifelong learning needs of the workforce in Hong Kong.
The Office of Continuing and Professional
Education (OCPE), a sub-unit in the Office of the Provost, has the brief to co-ordinate and oversee
the efforts of schools and units of the University in the
provision of continuing and professional education programs
for working adults in Hong Kong as well as South China. Apart
from playing a central liaison role, OCPE is also the University's
link with external bodies and Government agencies concerning
continuing education matters.
