'VTC Earn & Learn Scheme' (E&L Scheme) is a subsidy scheme under the 'Apprenticeship Training’. VTC has implemented the E&L Scheme since the 2014/15 academic year in order to nurture skilled talent for the industries (especially those with high demand for skilled and technically advanced manpower). Apprentices can receive a guaranteed salary, an industry incentive allowance from the employers and an allowance from the Government while acquiring knowledge and developing skills. 

To further enhance the effectiveness of the E&L Scheme, with the Government’s support, VTC has launched the Pilot Incentive Scheme to Employers, which encourages participating employers in the E&L Scheme to provide systematic workplace learning and assessment for the apprentices, thereby improving their professional skills and preparing them for new opportunities in the industries in a more effective manner.

Industries eligible for joining Earn & Learn Scheme: Engineering and Technology, Transportation, Design, Jewellery and Creative Industries, Healthcare Services, Testing and Certification.
