Abstract

As the world transitions, we are pulled in different directions by the challenges of globalization. Dynamic and ever-changing technologies, global supply chains, product safety, and traceability are some of the main issues that concern society. Testing and certification (T&C) play a vital role in guaranteeing quality and credibility when dealing with these global challenges. In view of the importance of testing and certification, manpower demand and employment opportunities to support the testing and certification industry are discussed by studying the statistics published by the Census and Statistics Department of the HKSAR Government. This paper studies four main areas: testing and certification industry job requirements, competency, employability skills, and the skills gap.
