職業訓練局年報 VTC Annual Report 2019/2020

40 The VTC endeavours to empower workforces with updated and future- proof professional training. At the same time, we co-operate closely with industry in providing upskilling opportunities and continuous professional development in the working community. Underpinning Industry Development The VTC continues to provide in- service training, e-learning and consultancy projects for government, public, professional and corporate institutions. A range of in-service training programmes is also provided through PEAK, ranging from award- bearing and Continuing Professional Development programmes, to short courses in an array of disciplines. New programmes have also been offered with trade-specific technological know-how such as 5G, FinTech and virtual banking, geared to the needs of different industries in today’s increasingly digitalised landscape. The Integrated Vocational Development Centre (IVDC) has also offered a wide variety of retraining and skills development programmes to people with diverse backgrounds. Promoting Lifelong Learning With support from the Government, the Vplus Subsidy Scheme offers tuition fee subsidies to lifelong learners taking professional part- time VTC programmes in creative industries as well as different engineering sectors. Under this Scheme, more than 1,600 beneficiaries have enjoyed tuition fee subsidies since September 2019. The VTC also administers Reindustrialisation and Technology Training Programme (RTTP), a funding scheme under the Innovation and Technology Fund that subsidises local companies to train their staff in advanced technologies related to Industry 4.0. The VTC has also encouraged lifelong learning among VTC students and graduates to sustain their skills development. A lifelong learning mobile application and web channel have been set up to facilitate planning and application for different courses.
