職業訓練局年報 VTC Annual Report 2018/2019

50 The development of the Guangdong- Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Greater Bay Area) has brought new opportunities for collaboration. Our flourishing partnership further connects us with regional partners in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates. During the year, several thousands of students went on exchanges to the Greater Bay Area and countries along the Belt and Road under various funding schemes. By participating in diverse activities including industry attachments, competitions, exhibitions and cultural and knowledge exchanges, our young people were able to hone their skills and broaden their vision, gaining meaningful experience from these fast-developing areas. For example, students from THEi’s Civil Engineering programme participated in a summer internship programme in Zhuhai to learn from professionals there about large-scale construction projects and widen their professional perspectives. Familiarisation visits to the Greater Bay Area were also organised for staff members, enabling them to keep abreast of the latest developments and expand their collaboration networks. EMBRACING REGIONAL OPPORTUNITIES 抓緊機遇 擴展網絡 因應粵港澳大灣區（大灣區）的發展， 我們加強了與大灣區伙伴的合作，同 時亦與區內國家如馬來西亞、泰國、 阿聯酋等加強聯繫，為學生提供豐富 的學習機會。 年內，數千名學生在各項撥款計劃資 助下，前赴大灣區及一帶一路沿線國 家及城市，進行工作實習及參加比賽、 展覽、文化和知識交流等活動，從中 磨鍊技能，開闊眼界。以 THEi 土木工 程學生為例，他們透過參加珠海暑期 實習計劃，有機會親身了解大型建造 工程實況，專業見識大有增進。 我們亦安排教職員前往大灣區進行觀 摩，了解區內最新發展，擴闊合作網 絡。
