Provide Training
Opportunities for
Young People
VTech recognises that attracting the best
talents is important for the sustainable
growth of the Company. We regularly
recruit interns from local universities
and organise various workshops with
schools for young people.
In FY2017, we have established the IE
engineering programme with Nanchang
University, Shantou University and
Dongguan University of Technology,
providing workplace health and
safety courses, theory courses on
manufacture engineering, production line
management and product design. We
also provide practical training sessions
for the students, helping them to gain
better understanding on the concepts
of smart manufacturing by putting the
theory into practice. We have also
offered internship opportunities for
over 100 engineering college students,
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. As in the previous years,
we continued to sponsor the Business
of Design Week 2016, which provides
a unique platform for the designers
and intellectuals to exchange ideas,
innovative design and technology.
In FY2017, VTech had associated with
the Hong Kong Children and Youth
Services to arrange nature exploration
tours for local primary school students.
The students were invited to take part
in the interactive environment and
nature tour, enhancing their knowledge
of the nature of science.
VTech’s Manufacturing Workshop
VTech organised manufacturing
workshops and exchange activities
with schools, such as providing
opportunities for students from MIT
Entrepreneurship and Maker Skills
Integrator Program to understand
the innovative technology behind the
manufacturing process.
Exploration Tours for Primary School Students
helping them to gain working experience
and develop their job skills. Apart from
providing internship opportunities for the
local engineering students, we also offer
various internship opportunities for local
college students at our headquarters
in Hong Kong, which help students
from different backgrounds to make
connections with peer groups and
explore their interest and abilities through
real-life learning experience.
VTech’s Internships
I had a very enjoyable summer internship at VTech over the last two months. Although I am studying economics
and accountancy, I had the chance to work in the legal department, where I learnt a lot from the team.
My colleagues were very friendly and patient in teaching me to complete different tasks. They not only gave me
clear guidelines and instructions, but also spent time to explain the details to me, which helped me understand
the tasks better and allowed me to complete the tasks in a timely manner. Moreover, they were always willing to
accept new ideas and put them into practice.
I had a very fruitful summer at VTech and it is the most enjoyable job that I have ever had.
