Flexible Multiple Pathways
To attract young people to join
industries with keen manpower
demand, the ‘Earn and Learn’ Pilot
Scheme targeting Secondary 3 to
Secondary 6 school leavers was
introduced in July 2014 through the
tripartite efforts of the Government,
industry and the VTC.
R e f e r e n c i n g t h e s u c c e s s f u l
experience of vocational education
in Germany and Switzerland, we
also took forward the concept of
integrating classroom learning
and workplace training to help
produce young professionals well
conve r san t i n knowl edge and
practical skills, so as to meet local
market and industrial needs. Our
Pilot Scheme provides a clear and
seamless pathway towards higher
qualifications in which participants
learn through on-the-job training
and theoretical programmes. They
also earn a guaranteed level of
income, suppor ted by subsidies
from the industry concerned and
the Government.
Since the introduction of the pilot
scheme, it has been extended
t o cov e r d i f f e r en t i ndus t r i es
with keen manpower demand,
including electrical and mechanical
engineering, printing, retail, watch
and clock, automobile and testing
and certification.
T h e V T C a l s o a d m i n i s t e r s
apprenticeship and traineeship
schemes that offer school leavers
v a l u a b l e c h o i c e s t o r e c e i v e
systematic workplace training and
equip them with the competence
and know-how needed for their
professional development. For
instance, over 400 trainees were
registered in our pilot Traineeship
Scheme for the hairdressing and
beauty care industries during the
year under review. The Scheme
has now been further extended to
the retail and elderly care services
industries.
