As a generative AI consumer, I may be able to create creative contents but I was never able to explain and discuss its impact towards the community. Learning from Andrew Ng and DeepLearning.AI team on AI for Everyone helped me to critically analyse the technical and business diligence before embarking any AI projects or initiatives. In the educational field, I'm applying these insights to foster AI literacy. For example, by teaching data recognition and training, and automating creative solutions for the school community, I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practical application. This not only enhances project-based and written assessments but also prepares students for the exciting challenges of AI. Exciting times ahead #AIforeveryone #deeplearning #edtech #machinelearning #ANI #artificialintelligence #AGI #artificialgeneralintelligence #artificialnarrowintelligence #teacherslife #coursera #andrewng

We are delighted to share that #HKIIT has become an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Training Partner in Hong Kong. The announcement was witnessed by Ir. Dr. John Hui, Principal of the HKIIT, and Mr. Chris So, Director of Business Development for AWS Hong Kong and Macau. It aims to provide training in advanced digital skills such as cloud computing and the latest Generative AI, to foster a rich cloud and digital talent pool for Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, and promote vocational education.   HKIIT also promotes the "Vocational Professionals Admission Scheme (#VPAS)," an initiative by the HKSAR Government to support Vocational and Professional Education and Training (#VPET). Under the scheme, HKIIT plans to cultivate hundreds of students with AWS cloud certification or a corresponding technical level through its full time Higher Diploma in Cloud and Data Centre Administration. Non-local students who enroll for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years will be eligible to apply for employment in Hong Kong upon graduation, addressing the shortage of technology talents.   HKIIT has also established an in-service training service named "#SkillsUp" to offer reskilling and upskilling programmes for industry practitioners, corporate professionals, and the workforce. It launches a "Professional Certificate in Cloud Computing" recognized at Level 4 of the Hong Kong Qualifications Framework, with content including two AWS official training courses. This professional certificate has been included in the #Vplus Creative Industries subsidy scheme, where successful applicants can be reimbursed up to 60% of the tuition fees.   AWS gives HKIIT students access to hundreds of AWS cloud education courses, covering topics like big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and fintech, to enhance students' cloud digital competitiveness. Over the next three years, thousands of HKIIT students will be able to use the AWS Academy and AWS Educate to self-learn and obtain completion certificates.   Becoming an AWS training partner will further assist HKIIT in promoting vocational education in information technology and provide students with the opportunity to develop comprehensive skills needed in the rapidly changing industry, highlighting the commitment to nurturing vocational talents and promoting the development of the Greater Bay Area's technology industry. #HKIITMoU #AWS #SkillsBuild #CloudComputing #ITtalents
