GENERAL INFORMATION 2 VOCATIONAL TRAINING COUNCIL FOREWORD

Part 1 1.1 Established in 1982, the Vocational Training Council (VTC) is the largest vocational and professional education and training (VPET) provider in Hong Kong. VTC provides valuable credentials for some 200,000 students each year through a full range of pre-employment and in-service programmes with internationally recognised qualifications.

1.2 VTC draws strengths from its member institutions, breadth of its programmes and a variety of accredited qualifications to provide a new world of OPPORTUNITIES to learners of all ages and abilities. Championing a teaching and learning approach that is practical, hands-on and outcome- based, VTC does not only focus on the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but equally on ACTION itself. This “think and do” approach cultivates a passion for learning while imparting the necessary skills and know-how for SUCCESS.

1.3 VTC is a major organisation in Hong Kong providing a comprehensive system of VPET to meet the needs of industry for well-educated and well- trained manpower at degree, higher diploma, diploma, and certificate levels, as well as to satisfy the aspirations of students at secondary and post- secondary levels. GENERAL INFORMATION 3 VTC ORDINANCE

ESTABLISHMENT OF VTC Part 1

1.4 VTC was established in 1982 under the VTC Ordinance, Cap 1130 of the Laws of Hong Kong. The Ordinance was amended in August 1991 to widen the remit of VTC to include vocational training for persons with disabilities and the administration of the Apprenticeship Ordinance. The Ordinance was further amended in April 2005 to empower VTC to perform its functions outside Hong Kong with revised scope of work.

OBJECTS OF THE COUNCIL

1.5 The objects of the Council as set out in the VTC Ordinance are:

- to advise the Chief Executive on the measures required to ensure a comprehensive system of technical education and industrial training suited to the developing needs of Hong Kong; - to institute, develop and operate schemes for training operatives, craftsmen, technicians and technologists needed to sustain and improve industry; - to promote the training of apprentices; - to provide and co-ordinate the provision of skills training to persons with a disability who are aged 15 and over for the purpose of improving their employment prospects and preparing them for open employment; and - to establish, operate and maintain technical colleges, technical institutes, industrial training centres and skills centres. 4 VOCATIONAL TRAINING COUNCIL VISION, MISSION AND CORE VALUES

Part 1 1.6 VTC’s roles and responsibilities are reflected in its vision and mission, as follows:

VISION

- To be the leading provider of vocational and professional education and training in the region.

MISSION

1.7 VTC has adopted the following core values in driving its vision and mission forward:

CORE VALUES

1.8 VTC provides VPET services mainly through its member institutions, including Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong, Institute of Professional Education And Knowledge, School for Higher and Professional Education, Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education, Hong Kong Design Institute, Youth College, Hotel and Tourism Institute, Chinese Culinary Institute, International Culinary Institute, Maritime Services Training Institute, Pro-Act Training and Development Centre, Integrated Vocational Development Centre, and Shine Skills Centre. Full-time and part- time programmes covering a wide range of disciplines, including health and life sciences, business, childcare, elderly and community services, design, engineering, hospitality, information technology and interdisciplinary subjects, are offered to students from post-secondary 3 to post-secondary 6 levels.

1.9 VTC also provides skill-based training to students and in-service practitioners to meet the needs of all major sectors of Hong Kong’s commerce and industry. In addition, VTC administers apprenticeship training schemes under the law, and provides vocational training and support services for people with disabilities.

1.10 In providing VPET services, VTC works closely with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, employers and the community to assess the current and future skills requirements of the workforce so as to ensure the relevance and future-readiness of the skills in the workforce. 6 VOCATIONAL TRAINING COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLANNING

Part 1 8-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN

1.11 VTC formulates strategic plans to steer its growth and development and maps out in the plan directions and core strategies to support its development. The strategic plan outlines VTC’s development for an eight- year period (8-year Strategic Plan), which is subject to review and adjustment through annual review exercises.

1.12 In June 2020, the Council formulated its Fourth 8-Year Strategic Plan covering the period from 2021/22 to 2028/29 to enable VTC to grasp opportunities in a fast-growing knowledge-based economy and to meet future challenges. The Fourth Plan takes a central theme of “Skilling for the Future”, building on the strengths and foundation laid down in previous strategic plans. In the Fourth Plan, VTC adopts a multi-faceted approach to equip our students and staff with the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for a better and sustainable future. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE 7 PART 2 Part 2 GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE 8 VOCATIONAL TRAINING COUNCIL GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE

OVERVIEW

2.1 VTC is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The corporate structure is well-defined, and authority is

Part 2 delegated within clearly defined parameters, ensuring efficiency in achieving its mission. VTC’s governance and management operates at three levels:

a) The Council, together with its committees and boards, is the highest authority and responsible for corporate policy, strategies and management at a macro level;

b) The Executive Director, supported by the Caucus and various committees, is responsible for the execution of the Council’s policy and day- to-day management of VTC; and

c) The Vocational Education and Training Academic Board (VETAB) and the Higher Education Advisory Committee (HEAC), together with various committees and boards under their purview, provide advice on academic matters and oversee their management.

2.2 Table 1 outlines VTC’s governance and management structure and shows the relationships among various parties. Each committee and board has specific terms of reference governing its responsibility and accountability. Corporate policies and strategies at the highest level are mapped out by the Council’s committees on the recommendations of the Executive Director, after they have been carefully deliberated upon by the Caucus, the Executive Director’s core team and, where necessary, the dedicated task forces set up thereunder.

TRAINING BOARDS

2.7 VTC is assisted by 25 Training Boards (TBs) which are established to assess the manpower demand of the various industries they represent and to recommend initiatives to meet such demand. They also play an important advisory role on setting out directions, strategic development and quality assurance mechanisms for VTC’s programmes. With memberships comprising stakeholders in nearly all major economic sectors in Hong Kong, the TBs will continue to be an effective platform for identifying and addressing issues related to manpower development, as well as to VPET in Hong Kong. To assess the manpower demand and training needs, the TBs 12 VOCATIONAL TRAINING COUNCIL

conduct full-scale manpower surveys for respective sectors in a four-year cycle, supplemented by manpower updates through focus groups and desk research. Findings and recommendations from these surveys provide VTC, the Government, training and educational institutions and employers with useful information for future manpower planning as well as formulation of education and training policies.
