* Objectives:
 

Vocational training courses are provided for young inmates under 21 years of age. They aim to facilitate a smooth re-integration of the young inmates into the community. The principal objectives of vocational training are:

1. Cultivation of work habit and discipline;
2. Engagement in vocational hands on practical training;
3. Acquisition of market demanded job skills;
4. Gaining public-accredited qualifications; and
5. Bridging to continuing vocational training.

 

   
* Functions and Services Provided :
 

A wide variety of training courses in technical or business streams are provided to young inmates. They include:

1. courses which allow the inmates to obtain vocational qualifications by ways of public examinations of the City & Guilds;
2. courses which allow the inmates to obtain skill recognition by taking the trade tests conducted by the Vocational Training Council or the Construction Industry Training Authority; and
3. courses which prepare the inmates to acquire vocational skills for job placement.

Where appropriate, we will help adult prisoners obtain skill recognition by taking work related trade tests conducted by the Construction Industry Training Authority and the Vocational Training Council. Resources permitting, we will also run suitable pre-release vocational training courses for them to prepare them for employment.
