Over the years, we have taken pride in producing numerous graduates who have gone on to achieve excellence in their fields and contribute to the sustainable development and betterment of Hong Kong. Skills can and do change lives. I am especially heartened to see that many of our VTC graduates and students have contributed to society in different ways during the COVID-19 pandemic by applying their professional skills to innovative solutions to social challenges. For example, graduates of the Engineering Discipline provided automation consultancy and services for face mask production companies in Hong Kong; students of the same discipline developed the ‘U-trap Refill Automator’ application for the elderly to reduce the risk of virus spread at home. In addition, our alumnus of the IT Discipline has developed a smart robot for food delivery in restaurants using artificial intelligence, Internet-of- Things and cloud technologies. 執行幹事 尤曾家麗博士 , GBS, JP Dr Carrie YAU, GBS, JP Executive Director
