The GBA Innovation Exchange and Training Fund for VTC Students 2023/24, generously funded by the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation, has made significant strides in fostering learning opportunities, career exploration, and cultural understanding for VTC students across the Greater Bay Area (GBA). Coordinated and implemented by the Innovation and Technology Co-creation Centre (ITCC), the fund has successfully introduced and promoted its initiatives among students from various academic disciplines.

Building on last year’s successes, the Vocational Training Council (VTC) is excited to once again partner with Cathay for Digital LearnX Co-Lab programme. This collaborative initiative aims to nurture young talent by harnessing their ideas and integrating their knowledge into projects that modernise Cathay’s training.

The final pitch of the ITCC Innovation Awards 2024 was successfully held on 26 June 2024. Organized by the Innovation & Technology Co-creation Centre (ITCC), this is the annual scheme designed to acknowledge and encourage student projects that demonstrate innovative ideas with significant prospects for advancement in areas of social impact and commercial solutions.

The Cathay x VTC Digital LearnX Co-Lab Programme, an initiative aimed at igniting creativity among young talents in digital learning sector, has demonstrated remarkable outcomes. This collaborative effort engaged 25 VTC students from Design and IT disciplines, who teamed up with Cathay to transform the future of digital learning. Beginning with a kick-off ceremony at Cathay City last August, this ten-month collaboration resulted in the creation of FIVE innovative digital learning solutions. These solutions, which include immersive virtual tours and engaging learning games, span a broad range of operational areas such as airport services, inflight services, and cargo handling.
