2025 Award Scheme for Learning Experiences under Qualifications Framework opens for applications
******************************************************************************************
A spokesman for the Education Bureau said that "Together, go further" continues to be the theme for this year's Award Scheme, which not only enables awardees' participation in learning activities outside Hong Kong but also promotes their professional growth and development in the workplace. The Award Scheme aims to encourage practitioners who have excelled in continuous learning to broaden their horizons through engaging in learning activities held locally or around the world, enabling them to keep abreast of the latest developments of the industry and extend their exposure and networks, thereby realising their personal and career goals.
Since its inception in 2013, the Award Scheme has attracted over 2 600 applications from practitioners of various industries, over 700 of whom were awarded. Over half of the awardees participated in learning activities outside Hong Kong, while approximately 40 per cent engaged in local learning activities. The Award Scheme provides financial support for practitioners to engage in learning activities, and strengthens their commitment to lifelong learning. By pursuing continuous education, they are able to enhance their knowledge and skills, serve as role models for lifelong learning within their respective industries, and contribute to the promotion of the QF.
The spokesman added that industry practitioners can participate in a variety of learning activities under the Award Scheme, including competitions, seminars, sharing sessions, exhibitions and study tours. Awardees participating in local learning activities will receive an award of $10,000, while those engaging in learning activities outside Hong Kong will receive an award of $30,000. Practitioners of various industries are encouraged to seize the opportunity to apply for the Award Scheme and go further in their careers.
