Intermediate Tradesman Collaborative Training Scheme (ITCTS)

The Intermediate Tradesman Collaborative Training Scheme (ITCTS) follows "First-hire-then-train" approach. Trainees are first employed by the employer, then they will receive an initial training provided by the Hong Kong Institute of Construction (HKIC) with up to HK$10,200/month allowance. After the initial training, trainees will undergo on-site training provided by the employer. During on-site training period, trainees can get at least HK$13,400 monthly salary. At the end of training, trainees are required to take the relevant Intermediate Trade Test (ITT) / Certification Test / Completion Test provided by the CIC. Trainees who pass the ITT / Certification Test / Completion Test and register as a registered semi-skilled worker of the relevant trade under the “Construction Workers Registration Ordinance” will be awarded a one-off bonus of HK$10,000.
