KTVTC students won various awards in the 2nd HSBC Young IT Entrepreneur Awards Competition

Students of the Sixth Form Section of our Kwun Tong Vocational Training Centre had taken part in the 2nd HSBC Young IT Entrepreneur Awards Competition this year. Two groups of students had won the Certificate of Excellence and the Certificate of Merit. The school also won the Nominator Award as the highest number of teams qualifying for round 2. The proposal on 'phone show coupon' won the Silver Award among the finalists of which formal presentation was made on 14 March.

photoDuring the competition, once the application was accepted by the adjudicators, students were required to join training camps from where they would learn to be entrepreneurs. Things that they would learn would be like writing business plans and proposals. The principal of KTVTC Mr. David Ng claimed that this was a precious opportunity for the students because they had learnt the "Know how" in starting up new businesses as well as the practical knowledge in business world. He says, "And what is most important is that in more than four hundred groups (over one thousand students), our students are among the winners; this certainly helps to affirm their self-esteem and confidence."
