To alleviate manpower shortage in construction industry, with the support of Development Bureau, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) launches the "Advanced Construction Manpower Training Scheme - Pilot Scheme (Skills Enhancement Courses)" to train up semi-skilled workers to become skilled workers.
This course is open for application by eligible semi-skilled workers who should apply at the trade unions offering the courses under this Scheme. Courses are tuition-free. Trainees who succeed in obtaining the skilled worker certification will be awarded a bonus of HK$8,000.
