The Vocational Professionals Admission Scheme (VPAS) is an initiative promulgated by the HKSAR Government, aiming to attract non-local students to remain in Hong Kong upon graduation to work in a skilled trade relevant to their programme of study.
The VPAS will run as a pilot programme for two years, aiming to attract non-local students (including those from Mainland China and other countries/regions1) to enrol in VPAS eligible VTC full-time Higher Diploma (2-year) programmes and remain in Hong Kong for employment in the skilled trades relevant to their programmes of study, leveraging their acquired expertise to contribute to crucial industries as technical professionals or specialists.
1This Scheme is not applicable to nationals of Afghanistan, Cuba, Laos, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Nepal and Vietnam.
