職業訓練局年報 VTC Annual Report 2019/2020

55 At the VTC, we attach great emphasis to whole person development, enabling students to realise their full potential. We encourage students to participate in local, regional and global competitions, which provide them with opportunities to hone their skills and gain international exposure. Students also take part in various cross-disciplinary projects and extracurricular activities to polish their skills and competencies in such areas as digital literacy, multi-disciplinary innovation, design thinking and entrepreneurship, so as to meet the challenges of a rapidly- changing world. Among innovation-sparking events during the year was HKDI inspire* Design Thinking 2019, which featured lectures and workshops by global experts and gave our students insights into the application of design thinking to tackling world issues. A series of training workshops, mentorship programmes and business network support was also launched to help instil the spirit of entrepreneurship into students. The THEi X SCMP Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge 2019 allowed students to receive business training and make presentations to seasoned corporate leaders, helping them acquire an innovative spirit and inspiring them to participate in start-ups. Our students also took part in a wide range of activities to enhance their soft skills, ranging from the ‘IVElite Student Peer Mentoring Scheme’ and ‘Wofoo Leaders’ Network’ to the challenge-based physical training programme ‘Road to Marathon’ and the communication coaching initiative ‘Speak for Success Programme’. These interactive learning experiences helped strengthen our students’ capabilities for success in the 21st century.
