With the advent of globalization, rapid advances and popularization in technologies, the Electrical & Mechanical Services industry must be better equipped to enhance its manpower quality in order to maintain the competitiveness of the industry. In this context, the Education Bureau assists the E&M industry in the establishment of QF to promote continuing education and lifelong learning with a view to enhancing their professionalism and competitiveness. Training providers and employers are also encouraged to assist youngsters in drawing up their own progression pathway riding on the QF platform.
