With the gradual recovery of economic activities and the lessening impact of the pandemic, the College was able to achieve healthy growth. “Quality” and “Sustainability” are the two keywords to highlight the College’s major achievements. Quality assurance and enhancement procedures were followed to ensure academic quality. Existing programmes in ABCD and VPET, commissioned and CEF-reimbursable courses continued to record steady enrolments, reflecting the College’s well-known status in the competitive continuing education and lifelong learning sector. The flagship programmes contributed to the College’s financial stability. Throughtrain arrangements were firmly established for the Aviation, Nutrition and Cyber Security disciplines. CLST also expanded its awardbearing programme portfolio to meet the diversified needs of the learning society by introducing a Foundation Certificate in Plantbased Nutrition and Food Therapy, a Certificate in AI and Robotics (Senior Secondary Applied Learning) and two Certificates for Module in ESG. Another notable new initiative was launching Certificates of Module in Flight/ Helicopter Flying Fundamentals, Cloud Computing Elements, Fundamental Cloud Computing Technology, and Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Sport Injuries by Western Medicine for CM Practitioners. The quality and sustainability of the College’s programmes were also manifested by its successful partnerships. Internally, inter- and intraCollege collaborations were promoted. Two full-time HD programmes (Applied Health and Rehabilitation Care; Applied Intelligent Technology) were developed for the HPSHCC. Externally, the College strengthened its industry connections to explore more support and training opportunities for students. Extensive collaboration with local and overseas partners for programme offerings was maintained. 隨着經濟活動逐步恢復及疫情影響減輕，學院在 今年取得健康增長。質素和可持續性是學院重 要成就的兩個關鍵詞。我們謹遵學院的質素保 證及提升程序，讓學術質素得到保證。目前， 航空、運輸及物流（Aviation, Transport and Logistics）、環境管理（Built Environment）、 護理（Care in All its Aspects）、數據科學（Data Science）四大支柱課程、職業專才教育（VPET） 課程、委託課程及可持續進修基金認可課程的收 生人數繼續保持穩定，反應學院在競爭激烈的持 續教育及終身學習領域上享有卓著聲譽。這些旗 艦課程亦為學院帶來了財務穩定。航空、營養及 網絡安全等學科的「進修直通車」經已確立，學 員可透過不同升學途徑取得專業資格。學院亦推 出了更多學銜頒授課程，包括素食營養及食療基 礎證書、人工智能與機械人（高中應用學習）證 書及兩個有關環境、社會與管治的單元證書課 程，以滿足學習者的多元化需求。其他值得注意 的新課程有：飛行/ 直升機飛行基礎理論、雲計 算元素及基礎雲計算技術等證書課程，以及中醫 進修之常見運動損傷及勞損的西醫診斷與治療單 元證書。 學院課程的質素和可持續性也體現在成功建立 的夥伴關係上。對內方面，學院之間與學院內部 充分合作；兩個全日制高級文憑課程（應用健康 及康復護理、應用智能科技）便是學院為保良局 何鴻燊社區學院而發展的。對外方面，學院加強 與不同業界的聯繫，為學生開拓更多支援及培訓 機會；並與本地及海外協作夥伴保持廣泛合作， 共同開辦課程。 The College of Life Sciences and Technology 生命科學及科技學院 Under its new Acting Head Dr Danny Gittings, the College broke new ground by holding its first Open Day in February 2023, which drew an enthusiastic response from more than 500 participants who were given the chance to sample learning in a wide variety of different subjects from English to the College’s popular music therapy courses.
