Scholarships for In-Service Executives
30/7/2007
According to the "Hong Kong as a Knowledge-based Economy - A Statistical Perspective" announced by the Census and Statistics Department on 26 July 2007, percentage of human resources having attended degree/non-degree/postgraduate courses has increased remarkably from 15.8% in 1996 to 23.6% in 2006. Moreover, the proportion of employed persons who worked as managers and administrators, professionals and associate professionals has increased from 28.9% to 36%. In a nutshell, the result demands that continuous education has become an integral part of a learning economy.
To recognize the outstanding services of the late Mrs Susan Yuen to industry and commerce in Hong Kong, members of The Hong Kong Management Association and the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, on the occasion of her retirement as Chief Executive of the two organizations, established the Susan Yuen Fellowship and Research Foundation.
