While the term "CEO" (Chief Executive Officer) is commonly used, the Vocational Training Council (VTC) designates its principal executive as the Executive Director. Currently, this pivotal role is held by Mr. Donald TONG, GBS, JP.
Understanding VTC's Leadership Structure
The Vocational Training Council (VTC) is Hong Kong's largest provider of vocational and professional education and training. Unlike many commercial entities that use the title of CEO, VTC's top executive leadership is structured with an Executive Director at its helm. This role is central to the overall governance and operational management of the institution.
The Role of the Executive Director
The Executive Director of VTC functions as the chief administrative and operational officer, performing duties analogous to a CEO in other organizations. Responsibilities include:
- Strategic Direction: Setting and guiding the long-term vision and strategic objectives for VTC's educational and training initiatives.
- Operational Oversight: Managing the day-to-day operations across VTC's various institutions and services.
- Resource Management: Overseeing financial, human, and physical resources to ensure efficient and effective delivery of services.
- External Representation: Acting as the primary representative of VTC in engagements with government bodies, industry partners, and the wider community.
This position is a key part of the senior directorates, playing a crucial role in maintaining VTC's mission to provide quality vocational education and training that meets the needs of students and industry.
