人員就實務科學研究和職業專才教
育發展趨勢，分享展望和獨到見

Applied Research
Ou r pu r su i t o f e x ce l l ence i n
v o c a t i o n a l a n d p r o f e s s i o n a l
education and training during the
past year was paralleled by our
development in applied research.
We made a determined effort to
drive interdisciplinary collaboration
and consolidate our research work.
At our annual practical social and
industrial research symposium,
r e n own e d s c h o l a r s a n d V TC
academics shared their vision and
insights into practical technological
research and VPET trends. We
have also unitised research as an
effective instrument in building
students’ capabilities. A number of
multi-disciplinary research projects
were implemented including the
award-winning Smart Schoolbag.
Growth with Our People
Through the various programmes
I have described, we provide not
only our students but also our staff
with ample opportunities to hone
their skills and capabilities. Besides
organising various staff capability
building programmes, we encourage
staff members to par ticipate in
resear ch ac t i v i t i es and make
good use of experience-sharing
oppor tunities and international
collaboration in order to keep
abreast with the fast-changing
global environment and educational
scene.
I should like to express my warm
appreciation to all members of the
VTC team for their hard work and
commitment during the past year.
Looking Ahead
The year ahead will be another busy
one for the VTC, as we continue to
fulfil our responsibilities of nurturing
our younger generation and leading
the development of VPET in Hong
Kong. We look forward to helping
Hong Kong face the challenges
ahead and contributing to the city’s
growth.
