職業訓練局年報 VTC Annual Report 2018/2019

32 Dual-track Learning in Action The VTC Earn & Learn Scheme was introduced in 2014 with the support of the Government and industry to build a dual-track pathway for young people and increase human capital for industry. It covers industries with high manpower demand such as electrical and mechanical engineering, construction, automotive and aviation, and over 4,600 trainees have been benefitted since its launch. Given the positive feedback, the Government announced in the 2018 Policy Address that it would regularise the Scheme from 2019/20 academic year with 1,200 places on offer per year. A ‘Pilot Incentive Scheme to Employers’ will also be introduced to encourage employers’ participation in workplace learning and assessment and enhance the effectiveness of manpower training. In the year under review, we introduced Earn & Learn Degree Programmes in building services engineering and civil engineering. Students are equipped with up-to- date and professional knowledge through studying at THEi and at the same time accumulate work experience while earning an income in the workplace. The VTC also administers apprenticeship and traineeship schemes that offer school-leavers valuable choices to receive systematic workplace training and equip them with the competence and skill needed for their professional development. During the year, over 2,000 participants joined the apprenticeship schemes which cover some 70 trades. Over 800 trainees have joined the traineeship scheme for beauty and hairdressing industries since its launch. 職學雙軌學習模式 VTC 自 2014 年與政府和業界攜手推 行 VTC Earn & Learn 職學計劃，為年 輕人提供雙軌學習模式，培養業界所 需人才。計劃涵蓋機電工程、建造、 汽車及航空等人力需求殷切的行業， 自推出至今已有超過 4,600 名學員受 惠。 隨著職學計劃漸見成效，政府在 2018 年施政報告公布職學計劃恆常化，於 2019/20 學年起每年提供 1,200 個名 額。此外， VTC 亦會推行職場學習及 評核先導計劃，鼓勵僱主參加職場學 評，協助提高培訓成效。 年內，職學計劃已推展至學位程度， 新增屋宇設備工程和土木工程兩個職 學計劃學位課程。學生除了在香港高 等教育科技學院（ THEi ）學習專業知 識外，亦會一邊工作汲取實際工作經 驗，邊學邊賺。 VTC 亦管理學徒訓練計劃及見習員訓 練計劃，讓離校生接受有系統的職場 培訓，培養從事不同行業的專業技能 和實力。年內，有超過 2,000 人參加 遍及約 70 個工種的學徒訓練計劃。 此外， VTC 開辦美容及美髮業見習員 訓練計劃，計劃推出至今，已取錄超 過 800 名見習員。
