COMP and PolyU’s Knowledge Transfer and Entrepreneurship Office (KTEO) jointly organised a training programme on blockchain technology for the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) from June 2019 to May 2021. Dr Daniel Luo, our Associate Professor and Dr Dennis Liu, our Teaching Fellow were two of the workshop trainers. Over 1,500 trainees were benefited from this two-year programme.
The blockchain training programme included a series of one-day core classes and two-day advanced courses, targeting all analysts and programmers of OGCIO. We held 24 sessions of the introductory class and five sessions of hands-on training in total.
The one-day class provided the participants with an overview of technological development and market trends of blockchain technology, as well as good practices for planning and managing blockchain projects. The trainers introduced the basic concept and growth of blockchain in today’s environment and context and shared some local and global real cases from the private and public sectors. To encourage the trainees to think further and explore possibilities in applying the knowledge to their work, trainers conducted a group discussion and the class voted for the most innovative idea.
The two-day training focused on the technical hands-on exercises with various real-world case studies and other interesting examples to deepen trainees knowledge and extend their skills in blockchain technology. They learnt not only about the architecture of blockchain networks but were also taught to develop blockchain applications using Hyperledger Fabric.
Overall, the participants understood the importance and value of blockchain technology and they became aware of incorporating blockchain into their future project planning.
