職業訓練局年報 VTC Annual Report 2018/2019

47 To facilitate upward mobility for students and build a wider talent pool to meet industry’s growing demands, we co-operated with various industry partners to offer responsive industry- related programmes and training. MoUs were signed with organisations such as Siemens to nurture Internet- of-Things professionals, and with the Hong Kong Cruise & Yacht Industry Association , CLP Power Academy and Hong Kong International Aviation Academy to help practitioners further develop their careers in respective industries. With support from different industries, a Workplace Learning and Assessment Scheme was initiated to integrate students’ VPET studies with real work experiences. Donations and Scholarships Our nurturing of talent was strengthened by staunch support from external organisations and partners. Recently, we gained a new donation from the J.P. Morgan Chase Foundation to establish the Future- Ready Talent Incubation Program supporting 600 VTC Higher Diploma students to pursue STEM-related careers for the 21st century smart city. Another donation from the Tam Luen Charitable Foundation recognised DVE students with excellent academic performance and progress, while the Peer Support Programme supported by the Hong Kong Association of Lady Horse Lovers provided peer-support services to Youth College students with special educational needs. Scholarships continued to be provided by Wu Jieh Yee Bursary, HSBC, Hong Kong International Theme Parks, Shanghai Commercial Bank, Rotary District 3450 and others, encouraging our students to pursue personal growth and development.
