AIS Academy
Cultivating the professional development essential for our employees, contributing to the growth of our business and ensuring client satisfaction.
AIS Academy is a dedicated learning and development division within AIS. Branches of AIS Academy at various locations also work together through teleconferencing means to achieve synergy across geographical boundaries.
Spearheaded by AIS leaders, the core objective of AIS Academy Hong Kong is to train and upskill the professional staff of AIS through a balanced approach to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities covering various technical matters in the relevant disciplines, professional and other matters, health and safety, etc. Apart from providing general CPD activities for professional staff, the Academy also provides high-quality training opportunities appropriate to the respective geographical locations, including tailor-made programmes to cater for the development and specific needs of Scheme “A” trainees of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, e.g. workshops on technical writing and communication, to enable them to take off early in their careers. To keep the professional staff abreast of the current developments in various engineering fields, the Academy will organise events on the latest innovations and technology.
Besides nurturing internal talents, the Academy also engages with the wider academia of built environment, client organisations, consultant groups, professional institutions and universities in thought leadership events on engineering development, best practices, lessons learnt and the latest developments in various engineering issues. Through insightful thought leadership contributions and shared expertise, the Academy aims to enhance awareness, imbue continuing professional learning and build competencies within the broader realm of the built environment.
