Hong Kong, an administrative region of China, has recently introduced a Vocational Professional Admission Scheme (VPAS), providing vocational and professional education and training opportunities to young Nigerians and other international individuals worldwide to help them achieve their career aspirations.

Alaina Shum, the Deputy Executive Director of VPAS at the Vocational Training Council (VTC), extends a warm invitation to non-locals to enroll in specially crafted full-time higher diploma programs offered by the VTC for the 2024/25 academic year. Proficiency in the English language is a prerequisite for all higher diploma programs.

The statement reads: “To further support non-local students in their English Language development, VTC is launching an English Enhancement Programme designed to strengthen presentation skills, facilitate discussions, and expand workplace-related vocabulary.

“Our goal is to provide non-local students with the necessary tools and resources to thrive professionally.” Shum stated that the government will provide training for their teaching facility and support services for students who require assistance. Also, VTC can offer accommodation at its dormitories, depending on availability.

According to Shum, graduates of the designated higher diploma programs are eligible to apply for VPAS. Successful applicants are granted a VPAS visa, permitting them to remain in Hong Kong for 12 months to pursue employment opportunities.

Within the VPAS framework, participants can apply for an extension of their stay upon securing employment aligned with their academic specialization. During their initial four years of employment, VPAS participants must work in roles related to their field of study.

Shum noted that after completing seven years of residency in Hong Kong, including academic studies, job searches, and a minimum of four years of full-time employment, VPAS participants can apply for permanent residency in Hong Kong. She emphasized that VPAS applicants should possess senior secondary school qualifications or equivalent from their home countries.

She said: “Additionally, they must attain the required results in examinations that meet the entrance requirements for VTC’s higher diploma programmes. Applicants for the scheme must hold senior secondary qualifications, such as SPM, STPM, or UEC or their equivalent from their home countries.

Furthermore, they must achieve the required results in examinations meeting the entrance requirements for VTC’s higher diploma programs. Applicants for the scheme must hold senior secondary qualifications, such as SPM, STPM, or UEC, or their equivalents from their home countries. Upon graduation, they will receive internationally recognized qualifications, making them eligible to pursue employment opportunities in the city.

Approximately 90% of VTC’s higher diploma graduates are employed, with an average starting salary of N3 million or $2,000 monthly. Successful applicants will have access to 27 two-year higher diploma programs, including aviation, transport and logistics, maritime, innovation and technology, electrical and mechanical services, building, civil engineering, and built environment.

Applicants should apply using the link: https://ido.vtc.edu.hk/nls-admission/vpas. The application portal closes on April 30, 2024. The development comes after Canada barred Nigerians and other countries from owning property for three years, citing the housing crisis in the country.
