職業訓練局年報 VTC Annual Report 2019/2020

32 Dual-track Education in Full Swing With the support of the Government and industry, the VTC spearheaded the Earn & Learn Scheme in 2014 to provide a dual-track pathway to young people and produce work-ready employees for industries with keen labour demand. The Scheme has covered a range of industries such as Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Automotive and Healthcare Services, benefiting over 5,700 trainees and being well received by over 300 employers. We have also offered Earn and Learn Degree Programmes covering different trade areas. Building on this progress, the Government has regularised the Scheme from the 2019/20 academic year. To facilitate skills exchange and diversify trainees’ exposure, the Government also announced in its 2019 Policy Address that it would subsidise study and exchange programmes for students under the Scheme from 2020/21. Another Government-backed initiative, the Pilot Incentive Scheme to Employers, was rolled out during the year to further enhance the effectiveness of the VTC Earn & Learn Scheme. By engaging employers in assessing the trainees’ workplace competencies and performance, this Scheme enables trainees to hone their knowledge and professional skills more effectively, thereby meeting the growing needs and opportunities of these industries. Apprenticeship and Traineeship Schemes The VTC also administers Apprenticeship and Traineeship Schemes that offer school leavers a range of valuable opportunities to receive systematic workplace training, and thus equipping themselves with the competencies and skills needed for their professional development. During the year, over 1,700 participants joined Apprenticeship Schemes covering more than 70 trades. Over 830 trainees have joined the Traineeship Scheme for beauty care and hairdressing industries since its launch. 加強職學雙軌教育優勢 VTC 在政府和業界的支持下於 2014 年推出 Earn & Learn 職學計劃，透過 雙軌學習模式為人力需求殷切的行業 培育實幹人才。 職學計劃涵蓋多個行業，包括機電業、 汽車業和醫療保健產業等。計劃推出 至今已有超過 300 名僱主參與，惠及 5,700 多名學員。我們亦開辦職學計 劃學士課程，涵蓋不同專業領域。 配合計劃的發展，政府由 2019/20 學 年起將職學計劃恆常化，並於《 2019 年施政報告》公布，由 2020/21 年起 資助學員參與交流，觀摩學習，開拓 視野。 年內，我們在政府支持下，推出「職 場學習及評核先導計劃」，進一步提 升職學計劃的成效。參與僱主會為學 員的表現及能力作評核，從而更有效 地提升學員的知識和專業技能，以迎 接行業的新機遇。 學徒及見習員訓練計劃 VTC 亦管理學徒及見習員訓練計劃， 讓離校生有機會接受有系統的職場 培訓，以掌握專業發展所需的能力與 技能。 年內，超過 1,700 人參加學徒訓練計 劃，涵蓋逾 70 個工種。此外，美容及 美髮業見習員訓練計劃自推出至今， 已取錄超過 830 名見習員。
