Cross disciplinary continuing professional development

Abstract

The author examined the continuing professional development programmes of the banking and legal professions. He found that, in the years under study, each profession offered a substantial number of training courses that fell within the discipline of the other. There was significant mutuality of training need in the two professions. He concluded that trainers as well as educationalists should, in future, pay more attention to cross disciplinary training and education, especially where Hong Kong harbors the ambition of evolving into a knowledge based society.
