Third Eight-year
Strategic Plan
Much has changed in Hong Kong’s
educational landscape in the past
few years. Our VPET has equipped
s t u d e n t s w i t h 21 s t c e n t u r y
competencies and prepared them
for a successful career in the new
environment. Taking into account
changes in the social and economic
environment in Hong Kong, we drew
up a new, forward-looking planning
framework in 2014 – the Third Eight-
year Strategic Plan – covering the
period from 2015/16 to 2022/23.
The Third Strategic Plan recognises
t h e c o r e v a l u e s a n d b r o a d
mission of the VTC, building on its
predecessors by unleashing the
full potential of VPET and building a
holistic system for our students. It
also aligns with the Government’s
latest strategies for promoting VPET.
In another move to suppor t the
initiatives raised in the Policy
Address, we launched the ‘Earn
and Learn’ Pilot Scheme in 2014.
During the year, we also signed
Memoranda of Understanding with
partners from various industries
to introduce the Scheme and train
new blood for these sectors. Since
its launch, the Pilot Scheme has
been extended to more industries
expe r i enc i ng keen manpowe r
demand, including the electrical
and mechanical, printing, watch
and clock, automobile servicing and
retail sectors.
Holistic and Experiential
Learning Approach
In today’s interconnected world,
students are expected to acquire
different sets of knowledge, skills
and perspectives from those of
previous generations in order to
stay competitive. They must be able
to compete but also co-operate with
their local and international peers.
To this end, we strive to prepare
our students for these new global
realities by equipping them with the
critical competencies to succeed
in this global knowledge-based
economy.
We believe that everyone has the
passion, strength and potential
t o succeed i f g i ven t he r i gh t
opportunities – a spark within them
just waiting to be discovered. During
the year, we provided our students
with a wide range of local, regional
and global platforms through which
they had the chance to show their
full potential and learn from others
in different parts of the world.
第三套八年策略計劃
過去數年間，香港的教育體系已
顯著轉變。我們的職業專才教育助
學生掌握
21
世紀的技能，引領他們
開創成功的職業生涯。慎思社會與
經濟環境的重大變化，我們於
2014
年
制定了第三套八年策略計劃，以一
個具前瞻性的規劃框架，挈領
VTC
2015/16
至
2022/23
年度的發展
路向。
第三套策略計劃確認了
VTC
的核心
價值和遠大目標。立足於前兩套策
略計劃的堅實起點，我們會盡展職
業專才教育的潛力，為學生建立一
個完善的教育體系。此策略計劃亦
與政府推動職業專才教育的最新政
策目標一致。
為全面支持施政報告的政策倡議，
我們亦於
2014
年推出「職」學創
前路先導計劃。年內，我們與多個
業界伙伴簽署合作備忘錄，攜手
啟動計劃，為業界栽培新血。這個
計劃自推出以來，已擴展至機電、
印刷、鐘表、汽車服務和零售行業
等人力需求殷切的行業。
全方位體驗的學習方式
當今世界互聯相通，學生要保持競
爭力，就應當承續發揚前人智慧，
從而掌握多方面的知識、技能和
觀點。他們必須敢於與本地及國際
同儕競爭，亦要懂得合作。為此，
我們致力裝備學生關鍵技能，在
全球知識型經濟中確立優勢，鑄煉
成就。
我們堅信，只要獲得合適機會，
每 個 人 都 能 發 揮 熱 誠、 魄 力 和
潛能，攫取成功；而每個人的可塑
之處，只待慧眼加以發掘。年內，
我們為學生建構遍布本地、區內和
全球的廣泛學習平台，讓他們得以
盡展潛能，並從廣闊的世界中汲取
知識養分。
