Mr. Henry Yip, Vice-Chairman of the Association, signed the pledge in representation of the Association as a collaborating organization.

At her opening remarks, Ms. Mak highlighted that the RPL recognizes relevant experience attained by employees and can enhance their working skills through lifelong learning, which is to the benefits of both employers and staff. To promote the initiative, the Association would organize briefing seminars for member companies to encourage active participation of their staff.
