Graduates of top vocational school spared brunt of AI impact, new chairman says
The new chairman of Hong Kong's largest vocational training institution, the Vocational Training Council (VTC), stated that its graduates are largely unaffected by the negative impacts of AI on the job market. Jeffrey Lam indicated that 90% of VTC graduates secure employment, with plans to review and adapt courses to align with emerging job opportunities, particularly those related to AI. He also suggested that AI will create more internship opportunities and will not entirely replace human workers. AI
