About 4,700 local residents signed in Macao talents database
A special webpage to register talents information of eligible Macao residents was launched in July this year by the Talents Development Committee. Around 4,700 Macao residents have registered their information in so far as 27 October.
Among the registered talents, about 80% are residing in Macao, whereas the rest are spread out in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, USA, UK, Australia, Canada, Portugal and elsewhere. The three largest age groups recorded are: aged 21-25 (approximately 31%), aged 26-30 (about 31%), and aged 31-35 (15%). The top five employment sectors of the registered talents residing in Macao are: gaming, education, public administration & social security services, hospitality, and finance, while the top five sectors for those residing in countries/regions other than Macao are namely, finance, education, medical & social welfare, IT related services, and manufacturing.
In terms of academic qualification of those registrants currently living in Macao, close to 67% have obtained their first degrees, 19% are postgraduates, 3.6% possess diplomas or certificates, 2.5% hold higher diplomas, 2.3% are doctoral degree holders, while the rest made up 6% of the total. For those registrants currently living outside Macao, nearly 50% are bachelor's degree holders, 27% are masters’ degree holders, 8.3% possess certificates or diplomas, 5% are doctoral degree holders, higher diploma holders took up 3% and the remaining 6.7% are miscellaneous.
Half of the registrants are recorded to possess professional qualifications (licence) or professional recognition, with an average of 1.28 entries per registrant. The six most popular qualifications are business administration & finance, language, IT, engineering & maintenance, tourism, hospitality & convention industry.
Initiatives launched to encourage registration
Promotional campaigns have already been rolled out one after another by the Talents Development Committee to attract more Macao residents to register their information in the talent database. All Macao residents who possess specialized vocational qualifications (licence), professional recognition, experience in entrepreneurial/corporate (including organizational) administration, higher education qualifications, or any other specialized skills are welcomed to submit their information. Registration procedure for talent information is simple and short. All Macao residents who could meet the above criteria may just go to the ‘Talent Information Registration” webpage at https://www.cdqq.gov.mo/register to submit their personal details, academic qualifications, work experience and background information. All information submitted will be kept strictly confidential. For any queries, please contact Talents Development Committee via email at info@scdt.gov.mo.
