Promoting Internationalisation
While celebrating our past achievements, we at the VTC have
to press ahead and continuously reinvent our strategies
to fulfil our mission and better serve our community. With
that in mind, we have supported Government policies
and proactively responded to industry needs to provide
diversified progression pathways for young people and
promote lifelong learning. A major part of our work in
2012/13 was promoting internationalisation.
Since 2010, the Government has been stepping up its
efforts to enhance Hong Kong’s status as a regional
education hub through education reform as well as
internationalisation and diversification. Echoing the
Government’s call and in line with the changing landscape,
we began to admit non-local students to the Higher Diploma
(HD) in 2012/13. At the same time, we built networks
with Mainland and overseas institutes and corporations
and strengthened our international capability, which is
essential to the internationalisation of our programmes and
institutions. Exchange activities covering familiarisation
visits, exchange camps, enrichment programmes and
industrial attachments were organised for more than 6,000
students in the year.
推動國際化
在共慶成果的同時，我們不忘與時並進，在
政策上推陳出新，以履行使命，貢獻社會。
我們全力支持政府的發展政策，並積極回應
業界需求，為年輕人提供多元進修途徑，
提倡終生學習，而推動國際化正是我們在
2012/13
年度重點工作之一。
自
2010
年起，政府透過教育改革及推動國
際化和多元化政策，致力將香港發展成區域
教育樞紐。為響應政府的政策和配合社會變
遷，我們於
2012/13
年開始招收非本地生修
讀高級文憑課程。為了令課程及院校國際化
步伐更穩健，我們與內地和海外院校及機構
建立網絡，增強國際實力。年內，逾
6,000
名學生參與我們舉辦的交流活動，包括考察
團、交流營、增潤課程和工作實習。
