******************************************************************************************
     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) and the Guangzhou Industry and Trade Technician College (GITTC) today (June 1) signed a memorandum of co-operation to strengthen their collaboration in the training of electrical and mechanical (E&M) technicians.

     Last year, the EMSD for the first time conducted training and experience sharing sessions with the GITTC for refrigeration and air conditioning (R&AC) technician trainees. Two of them took part in the categories of electrical installation and R&AC at the WorldSkills Competition in Abu Dhabi later that year and achieved satisfactory results.

     In order to promote the professional technical standards of R&AC to attract young people to join the E&M industry, the EMSD signed a memorandum of co-operation with the GITTC to foster the manpower training and exchanges of both sides regarding R&AC techniques, with a view to enhancing the professional standards of EMSD trainees and the entire industry. In addition, both sides will enhance their experience sharing after taking part in the R&AC category of the WorldSkills Competition so as to prepare for the next contest.

     Addressing the signing ceremony of the memorandum, the Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, Mr Alfred Sit, said that the GITTC has all along spared no effort in the training of E&M personnel. He said he hoped that both sides could strengthen collaboration in enhancing the professional standards of E&M personnel and also in training talents for the development of the region.
