Intertek Hong Kong were recently visited by eight experienced teachers from various secondary schools, as part of their Professional Development Programme with the Education University of Hong Kong.

The Education University of Hong Kong's Certificate in Professional Development Programme offers intensive training for aspiring educators, equipping them with essential skills and knowledge to excel in their careers. The visit to Intertek Hong Kong was an opportunity for these practising teachers to gain real-world insights into the applications of STEM principles in the testing and certification industry.

As part of the visit, Intertek Hong Kong arranged a tour of three laboratories, showcasing pet toys, kitchen utensils, and eyewear. Each tour was guided by Intertek's industry experts, providing an in-depth understanding of the testing processes and industry standards.

Grace Li, Vice President, Human Resources, Greater China and Hong Kong Regional Management said: "Intertek is dedicated to contributing to the education sector and nurturing the future pillars of our society. Hopefully, this event will inspire and empower these already experienced teachers to bring new ideas and perspectives into the classroom.”

Dorothy Lau, Toys & Hardlines Director said: "It is a great honour to be invited by the University to converse with teachers who are teaching STEM in schools every day. Intertek has always striven to inspire young students and now it is amazing that we can also have positive impact on their teachers.”
