About The Colloquium
The global vocational and professional education and training (VPET) sector has undergone rapid changes in the past decade. VPET aims to develop skills that help to engage people in useful endeavours and, at the same time, address the manpower needs of society. VPET recognises that people have different talents – some geared more towards professional study, and others towards vocational hands-on dexterities – and offers them an education that suits their attributes. The above signify a growing anticipation of the possible contribution of VPET to a number of societal and economic issues. The salient issues are then the development of work-oriented curricular, appropriate pedagogical approaches that balance theory, hands-on practice and workplace learning to ensure employability. This colloquium provides a platform for researchers, academics, mentors and industry practitioners to exchange views on the current issues of VPET and plays the role of think tank, enabling us to explore and generate insights from a global perspective.
The seminar will be conducted in English.

Innovative Pedagogical Strategies in VPET Series
Innovative Pedagogical Strategies in VPET Series is funded by the Quality Enhancement Support Scheme (QESS) on the project of “Development of Effective Pedagogical Practices and a Cross-institutional Online Sharing Platform for Hong Kong's Vocational Education and Training (VET)”. It offers seminars and workshops on a regular basis to keep VPET academic and teaching staff, workplace mentors and VPET stakeholders abreast of the most updated flexible learning, innovative pedagogical practices, competency-based and task-oriented instructional strategies. It also serves the purpose of enhancing peer learning between institutions’ academic and teaching staff and workplace mentors to maximise support to students during their workplace learning and industrial attachment.
