Allowance of the Apprenticeship Scheme

Two pilot incentive schemes have been initiated by the Government for all registered and graduate apprentices for three financial years since 1 April 2024. Those schemes serve to support the industry in attracting more youth to join and engage in apprenticeship training, and to facilitate the upskilling of graduate apprentices in relevant trades.

The Training Allowance of HK$1,000 per month, maximum capped at HK$36,000 (36 months of training) will be provided to all new and existing registered apprentices during their apprenticeship training period.

The post-apprenticeship Upskilling Allowance with a maximum amount of HK$30,000 will be provided to graduate apprentices on a reimbursement basis aiming to encourage skill enhancement through upskilling courses for career development in their corresponding trade.
