The 2023 Award Scheme for Learning Experiences under the Qualifications Framework (QF) will be open for applications from tomorrow to May 31, the Government announced.

Practitioners from 23 industries implementing the QF are welcome to apply.

The Education Bureau said the aim of the scheme is to encourage practitioners who have excelled in continuous learning to engage in learning activities held locally or worldwide to keep updated on their industries’ latest developments and extend their networks.

Since its launch in 2013, the scheme has attracted more than 2,000 applicants from different industries, of whom over 630 have been awarded.

Nearly 60% of the awardees participated in overseas learning activities and some 40% were engaged in learning activities locally.

Such activities include competitions, seminars, sharing sessions, exhibitions and study tours.

Awardees engaging in local learning activities will receive an award of $10,000 and those engaging in learning activities outside Hong Kong will receive a prize of $30,000.
