The trainees of HKCT School of Vocational Training, namely Sin Chun-kow and Ling Wee-young received the "ERB Outstanding Award for Trainees"2019-20 in recognition of their outstanding performance in personal development and career.

After completing the HKCT ERB’s Foundation Certificate in TTA Creative Industries (Interior Design) course, Sin Chun-kow started his career at 60 and engaged in graphic and packaging design. Knowing that he might not be capable of taking the course, Sin Chun-kow applied for HKCT’s interior design course to improve his practical skills. He was not afraid of hard work, and his unrelenting attitude was appreciated by the teacher.

Another trainee Ling Wee-young found that the purchasing he had been doing was already a sunset industry. Through his personal experiences of home renovation, he got to learn about interior design, which inspired his interest. Although his right eye had only 10% of vision, he still decided to apply for a number of interior design related courses, including “Foundation Certificate in TTA Creative Industries (Interior Design)" and "Certificate in Interior Design Application (Part-time)". He has been employed by a renovation company as an engineering assistant.
