'VTC Earn & Learn Scheme' (E&L Scheme) is a subsidy scheme under the 'Apprenticeship Training’. VTC has implemented the E&L Scheme since the 2014/15 academic year in order to nurture skilled talent for the industries (especially those with high demand for skilled and technically advanced manpower). Apprentices can receive a guaranteed salary, an industry incentive allowance from the employers and an allowance from the Government while acquiring knowledge and developing skills. Outstanding apprentices may also be nominated to participate in the International Study Programme.

To further enhance the effectiveness of the E&L Scheme, with the Government’s support, VTC has launched the Pilot Incentive Scheme to Employers, which encourages participating employers in the E&L Scheme to provide systematic workplace learning and assessment for the apprentices, thereby improving their professional skills and preparing them for new opportunities in the industries in a more effective manner.

Industries eligible for joining Earn & Learn Scheme: Engineering and Technology, Transportation, Design, Jewellery and Creative Industries, Healthcare Services, Testing and Certification.
