A high quality workforce is crucial to maintain Hong Kong’s
competitive edge. During the year, the VTC has administered
several industry-wide schemes and training programmes to
help industries upgrade their employees’ competencies and
enhance their competitiveness.
Cross-border Qualifications
In March 2013, the VTC launched the “One Examination,
Multiple Certification” System in collaboration with the
Guangdong Occupational Skill Testing Authority. The system
was piloted in the beauty and hairdressing industries and
will be extended to sectors such as vehicle maintenance,
elderly care, printing and property management. The
introduction of this scheme marks a milestone in effort to
raise the professionalism and competitive advantages of
workers in Hong Kong, the Mainland and member countries
of the International Professional Standards Network (ipsn)
including Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Besides that, the “One Trade Test Two Certificates”, which
is approved by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social
Security of the People’s Republic of China, is periodically
held at the Chinese Cuisine Training Institute (CCTI). During
the year, 55 CCTI trainees sat for the trade test and received
dual certificates.
In-service Training and Consultancy Services
Apart from promoting cross-border recognition, the VTC has
helped raise the competitiveness of local businesses and
workforce through apprenticeship schemes, industry-specific
training as well as consultancy services.
