Apprenticeship Scheme
Those who plan to be technicians may also consider the apprenticeship schemes run by the Vocational Training Council. These schemes are held to train production supervisors (clothing industry), production engineering technicians (machine shop, metal working and plastics industry), production planners/ controllers (printing industry) and production technicians (textile industry). Under the apprenticeship scheme, organised on-the-job training is provided by employers in the private sector. During the same period, the apprentices receive theoretical training in the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education on a part-time day-release basis. Upon satisfactory completion of the apprenticeship which usually takes four years, an apprentice will be recognised as a qualified technician.
In addition, a number of local training institutes provide training courses in the field. You may contact the following organisations for more details:
