Background

With a view to helping the logistics sector to nurture more professional talents and to encourage in-service practitioners to equip themselves with up-to-date knowledge to support the industry to upgrade and transform itself towards the direction of green and smart logistics, the Government launched the Professional Training on Smart and Green Logistics Scheme (PTSGLS, the Scheme) on 8 January 2024 under the Maritime and Aviation Training Fund (MATF). To diversify course options for logistics industry practitioners, with effect from 4 October 2024, the Scheme has been enhanced to include courses that operate on a self-financing basis.  Hong Kong registered companies or educational institutions offering or wishing to offer training courses that are non-profit or self-financing and are directly related to smart and green logistics and related technologies may apply to have their relevant courses registered as pre-approved courses under the Scheme.

Also, to streamline administration of the Scheme, courses deemed suitable for enhancing the knowledge of industry practitioners in smart and green logistics will be put on a list of pre-approved courses under the Scheme, from which eligible industry practitioners may select relevant courses and apply for refund under the Scheme for up to 80% of the course fees after satisfactory completion of a pre-approved course, subject to a funding cap of HK$30,000 per applicant.

The Transport and Logistics Bureau (TLB) has engaged the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) as the Implementation Partner to serve as the Secretariat for the Scheme. The Scheme is overseen by the Steering Committee of the PTSGLS under the Subcommittee on Industry Development (SID) under the Hong Kong Logistics Development Council (LOGSCOUNCIL).

The cut-off date of first batch of applications for course providers is on 30 November 2024.

[Note: Applications received by the Secretariat after this cut-off date will be processed together with the next batch of applications received by the next cut-off date.]
