VTech’s interships:
“After about 8 months internship in
VTech, I am impressed with the way
people are working in the office and
the mechanism of a real manufacture
company. My major is engineering and
I still remember that in my first year
my professor told me that engineers
changed the world. Yes, we do. But
how can we change the world by
ourselves? In the past years in the
university, I spent most of my time with
“numbers” and “formulas”. Through
the internship in VTech, however, I
realise that communication between
colleagues is much more important.
This 8 months internship has changed
my future career that I would like to
do something else rather than a pure
engineer.” – Eric Li
“The 1 year internship programme
allows me to experience a real
workplace. During this internship
programme, the work experience
helps me prepare for my future career.

Nourish an Innovative
Environment
In order to nourish an innovative
environment and stay ahead of the
latest trends and developments in the
industry, VTech has supported various
technology forums and participated
in a number of trade associations
around the world. We primarily engage
as members and collaborate with the
others on the industry projects to help
develop the industry and technology
standards.
In FY2015, VTech sponsored the 2015
Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) International
Symposium on Information to support
the breakthroughs in communications
and information technologies. To
support the development of ULE
technology, VTech is also one of the
strategic members of ULE Alliance
to drive the agenda of the ULE
development progress with the ULE
Alliance management board committee.
Develop a Healthy and
Green Community
VTech is a keen supporter for
developing a healthy and green
community. We not only dedicate our
efforts to minimise the environmental
impacts of our operations, but also
participate in different community
events to encourage and promote a
healthy and green lifestyle. In FY2015,
VTech joined the “Greening for the
Chest” programme organised by
Community Chest of Hong Kong,
which is an educational fund raising
programme to encourage schools
and organisations to clean and plant
at designated locations, building a
greener and cleaner environment for
the community. We also encourage our
employees to bring their children to join
the event in order to promote green
living to the younger generations.
nature of work and I learned the way
to work more efficiently. Apart from
that, I also had the chance to work
with colleagues with different cultural
background at Dongguan office. The
1 year internship is a very precious
work experience to me. It helps me to
discover my future career path.”

VTech’s Training Workshop for
University Students:
VTech arranged training workshop
for the students of Shanghai Lixin
University of Commerce to share
the information on International
Accounting Standards and listing
regulations.
To support a sustainable banqueting
culture, our annual dinner in FY2015
joined the Green LUCK Banquet of
Green Monday to follow the three
principles – no waste, no shark fin
and one vegetarian dish, and all
the excess food items at banquet
were redistributed to people in
need. All VTech social gatherings
will continuously follow these three
principles, embedding healthy and
green eating in all VTech parties and
gathering events.
In promoting green living at VTech, we
have developed a VTech organic farm
at our TEL products manufacturing
site, and we are going to practise
urban farming at the living areas of
our factories.
