Mr. Andy Kwok, CEO of OpenCertHub, was invited by the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) as a speaker in their booth during the exhibition. Andy explained the features and characteristics of the CPFA® Scheme and emphasized the importance of data literacy in the era of digital transformation. As per the prediction of Forbes, a famous international media, data literacy will be one of the essential jobs skill in 2020. Therefore, reskilling and data literacy is no longer an option but an indispensable need for different careers.

During the speech, Andy explained the “Role-based” design of the CPFA® Scheme and introduced the four different roles of the scheme: “Citizen Data Scientist,” “Data Architect,” “Data Scientist” and “AI Engineer.” Andy further added, “Despite the importance of data expertise such as data scientist and data architect, everyone in the different department also plays a critical role in the transformation. In order to successfully transform into a data-led corporation, data literacy is an essential skill for everyone in the corporation.”
