Tencent Cloud Training and Certification Included in the City’s “Continuing Education Development Plan”
Tencent held its “AI for All in Macao” event on November 11 at the Macao Science Center. Hosted by Tencent and co-organized by the Macao Science Center, the Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Center (CPTTM), Instituto Salesiano (Salesian Secondary School), the Macau New Media Alliance and the Macau Live Streaming Association, the event drew more than 400 young people and working professionals from Macao. The program featured AI workshops, the inaugural Tencent Cloud certification presentation ceremony, and a TVP (Tencent Cloud Valuable Professional) industry forum.
Several partnerships were announced at the event. The Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Center and Tencent Cloud have signed a framework cooperation agreement on talent development. The partnership aims to expand access to Tencent Cloud’s training curriculum, certification standards, and examination services in Macao through a model in which local instructors teach courses in Macao and Tencent Cloud provides certifications. A preparation course for the Tencent WorkBuddy Efficiency Agent Application Engineer certification will begin in December and will be taught by local instructors. Instituto Salesiano has become Macao’s first technology demonstration school and will develop course collaborations through WorkBuddy, the Weixin Mini Program Education Platform and TCAMP training camps.
Li Tsz Shu, James, Tencent’s Vice President of Public Affairs, said he hoped the initiative would bring AI closer to every young person and resident of Macao. He also expressed hope that Tencent could play its part in helping Macao build a learning society.
The TVP Macao ecosystem was also launched at the event, where honors were conferred on the first cohort of Macao TVP experts, and the inaugural TVP Summit Forum was held.
At the ceremony, certificates were presented to the first cohort of participants in the local certification initiative who had earned Tencent Cloud certifications, including training instructors, university students, and secondary school students. One student shared how they used WorkBuddy to organize information and build web pages and Weixin Mini Programs. A secondary school student also studied Tencent Cloud’s certification courses, prepared for and passed a professional certification exam conducted entirely in English, and developed advanced skills in applying AI agents. The event also featured a public WorkBuddy workshop and an interactive AI experience zone.
