To encourage stimulate students’ creativity and enhance their interest in solving daily problems with emerging technologies, Corporate Tech Academy Network (CTAN) will organise the “Hong Kong VPET Competition for Secondary School 2023/24”. Through the competition, students will be able to know more about Vocational and Professional Education and Training (VPET) and apply their understanding to enhance the community.
The competition invites all full-time secondary schools to participate in groups. Through visits, communications, learning and group cooperation, students will be able to deepen their understanding of VPET and CTAN. Prototype creation by students will be displayed in shopping malls and public areas so that public will know more about VPET activities, e.g. career development of students, VPET development and sustainability of talents in different industries.
The competition briefing session was completed on 8 December, 2023 (Fri). The briefing session presentation deck is uploaded for more details of the competition. Link
