Construction training in Hong Kong began in 1975 with the establishment of the Construction Industry Training Authority (CITA). In 2018, the establishment of the Hong Kong Institute of Construction (HKIC) by the Construction Industry Council is another milestone for construction training in Hong Kong. To commemorate the 45th anniversary of construction training, HKIC commissioned historian Professor LAU Chi-pang to compose the first-ever historical publication on construction training in Hong Kong, which is highly collectible.
