Potential Employers
Background
To encourage graduates of Hong Kong Institute of Construction (HKIC) and employees to participate in trainee programmes, the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and the Construction Industry Council (CIC) endorsed in 2018 recommendations on the Apprenticeship Scheme (Civil & Building Work Trades). The Scheme was approved by CITB in March 2019 and officially named the “Construction Industry Council Approved Technical Talents Training Programmes” (CICATP). In March 2021, HKIC established the CICATP Approved Employer List. Through formulating and administering an employer assessment system, the quality and resources of the on-the-job training provided by employers for apprentice training purses can be better regulated. This ensures that apprentices can receive skill training at the senior tradesman level for their respective trades under suitable construction environment and guidance of instructors so that the training resources of HKIC are put to even better use.
Targets of the Approved Employer List
Employers who are applying for or currently taking part in CICATP.
