Since its establishment, the Construction Industry Council (CIC)has been providing a wide range of training programmes for different trades for those who wish to be trained professionally and then to work in the construction industry. CIC has initiated five cooperative training schemes between year 2011 and 2014 to collaboratively train up Intermediate Tradesmen with the industry. Under these schemes, trainees are recruited on a first-hire-then-train basis and primarily trained on-site. In support of the schemes, CIC provides subsidy to employers and trainees.
In order to optimise the current collaborative training schemes, CIC implements the "Intermediate Tradesman Collaborative Training Scheme"(ITCTS). The scheme aims at integrating the current five cooperative training schemes, also focusing on trades with severe labour shortage and simplifying the application procedure.
Employers who are interested in the Scheme can submit an ITCTS application form indicating their proposal to CIC. Upon approval by CIC, the employer can then recruit suitable trainees and provide training to the trainees under CIC’s supervision. Duration of training is from 1 month to 6 months, which is subject to different trades.
