Welcome from Director
Welcome to the UNEVOC Centre (Hong Kong), a member of UNESCO's specialized centers for technical and vocational education and training (TVET). Established in 2008, our center received an award from the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre, Bonn, for its active involvement in TVET research and development. As a part of the worldwide UNEVOC Network, we make strides in strengthening and upgrading the TVET systems and skills development, through stimulating international and regional cooperation in research and knowledge sharing at the local, national, regional and worldwide levels. Our center echoes UNESCO’s mandate to promote social integration, harmony and peace throughout the region.
The UNEVOC Center (Hong Kong) places a strong emphasis on two themes: Youth and Skills and Greening of Skills. I invite you to explore our website that demonstrates our expertise in those areas and deep commitment towards research and development of the above themes. To create more inclusive, just, and equitable societies, the role of skills development in the educational reforms in the Asia and Pacific region should not be underestimated. The UNEVOC Center (Hong Kong) pledges to develop a strong sense of community and lifelong connections with local and overseas partners to foster ongoing collaboration activities that can lead to a sustainable future.
We are open to collaboration. After browsing through our website, please write to us with your ideas and suggestions. I hope you appreciate the importance of skills training and education!
