The scholarship highlights the importance of continuous education. "It is true that experience can be accumulated through on-job training. On the other hand, since we are under a business environment with keen competition, qualification and up-to-date industry information are needed to keep ourselves ahead of others," said Glover Chan, Spokesman of HKMA.
