A variety of training options are offered for young people including the “Youth Training Programme” and youth featured courses.
The “Youth Training Programme”, which covers placement-tied courses offered in full-time mode, is tailored for the non-engaged youth aged between 15 and 29, with educational attainment at secondary school level or below. The programme aims to rekindle their desire to learn and study, and motivate them for future study and career planning.
In addition, ERB offers featured courses for the youth, including full-time placement-tied and part-time courses. These courses aim to offer a wide variety of training options and map out the progression ladder for young people.
ERB also serves to provide vocational skills training for trainees of the “Youth Employment and Training Programme” (YETP) of the Labour Department. YETP trainees may enrol in a variety of ERB training courses* including the Youth Training Courses through Career Advisors of the YETP. The Labour Department will provide Career Development Services and relevant follow-up services to YETP trainees.
* Placement follow-up service and retraining allowance for regular ERB placement-tied courses are not applicable to YETP trainees. For details of training allowance provided by the YETP, please click to visit YETP's website.
