The 2025 Award Scheme for Learning Experiences will be open for practitioners from 23 industries implementing the Qualifications Framework (QF) to apply from tomorrow until May 31.

The scheme aims to encourage practitioners to engage in learning activities locally or globally so as to keep up to date on the latest developments in their own industries and extend their networks.

Since its launch in 2013, the scheme has attracted more than 2,600 applicants from different industries, with more than 700 awards given.

Over half of awardees participated in learning activities outside Hong Kong, and about 40% engaged in local activities.

Activities include competitions, seminars, sharing sessions, exhibitions and study tours.

Awardees engaging in local learning activities will receive a prize of $10,000, while those engaging in learning activities outside Hong Kong will receive a reward of $30,000.
