Vocational and professional education and training (VPET), which covers programmes up to degree level with a high percentage of curriculum consisting of specialised contents in vocational skills or professional knowledge, is a valued alternative pathway in addition to academic education. With an emphasis on application and industry input, VPET prepares trainees for joining designated professions and industries through nurturing their work skills for the future, applied knowledge in innovation and technology, as well as critical soft skills. The Government has all along been committed to promoting VPET and providing multiple pathways for young people, with a view to encouraging them to pursue articulation pathways that best suit their abilities and interests. In addition, VPET plays an integral role in Hong Kong’s education system for nurturing the talent required for our economic developments.
