   Here's a practical way to build the training, followed by Hong Kong options and funding that can offset the cost.

   1. Structure the training around your workflows

   Start by mapping the processes you want to improve, then train people to use generative AI on those specific tasks. Useful modules include:

   • Prompting and content drafting: HKPC's courses cover using generative AI and prompt engineering to enhance productivity, communication, and decision-making .
   • No-code automation and chatbots: One HKPC course focuses on applying free Generative AI tools for creative content generation, workflow automation, and building no-code chatbots .
   • Data analysis and reporting: Several providers offer generative AI paired with data analytics, for example turning raw data into reports.
   • Responsible use: Cover data privacy, bias, and transparency. The HKPC's free courses include these topics, and they matter most when staff paste customer or company data into public tools.
   • Leadership and governance: Managers need to decide what to automate, how to measure results, and who checks AI output. HKPC's Generative AI for Managers course is aimed at that level.

   A sensible sequence is to train everyone on basics first, then have each team pilot one real workflow with a named owner and before-and-after metrics. Keep a shared prompt library and a review step for anything customer-facing.

   2. Hong Kong training options

   • HKPC (Hong Kong Productivity Council): This is the most SME-oriented option. Its "AI for All" initiative will offer training on generative AI for tasks such as content creation, data analysis and workflow optimization . HKPC's free one-on-one consultations can help SMEs identify suitable government schemes. The HKPC Academy also lists a Generative AI for Business Optimisation course at HK$3,000/ HK$2,700 with a group discount for 2 participants or more . Check the schedule, since listed dates may already have passed.
   • Cantonese-language options: If your staff prefer Cantonese instruction, HKPC has run a course that is one of the very few local courses conducted in Cantonese , and CUHK's part-time course is Cantonese (supplemented with English) , at a listed tuition fee of HK$4,880. That CUHK course is a 12-hour introduction covering the practical capabilities and limitations of GenAI and large language models .
   • Longer university certificates: PolyU offers a 84 hours AI-driven digital marketing certificate at HK$18,800 (normal fee), which suits a marketing team that wants depth.
   • In-house or customised training: Consultancies offer tailored programmes. One vendor's page says its programme covers ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Gemini . Treat vendor comparison pages as marketing, and compare prices and outcomes directly.

   3. Funding to reduce costs

   • Continuing Education Fund (CEF): Eligible residents can claim subsidies for approved I&T courses. Official government material says over 420 CEF courses are related to such I&T areas as AI, big data analytics and smart cities . A third-party guide describes the subsidy as up to HK$25,000 at 80% reimbursement, but verify the current terms on the official CEF site before budgeting.
   • Upskill Hong Kong: The retraining board is being rebranded, and it will run an 18-month campaign from the first half of 2027, with a free online course open to all . Note that some sources say the employed-worker AI courses start in November 2026, so confirm the timing.
   • Digital Transformation Support Pilot Programme: This matching-subsidy scheme for SMEs is being enhanced to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity solutions . It covers technology, not training, so use it alongside a training budget.
   • Free introductory content: HKPC's free online learning platform covers basic AI concepts, introductory generative AI applications and responsible use , which is useful for onboarding before paid courses.

   Suggested next steps: Confirm current course dates and fees directly with providers, check CEF eligibility for each staff member, and book a free HKPC consultation to match your team's processes with available funding.
