Maritime and Aviation Talent

180. The Government introduced the Professional Training on Smart and Green Logistics Scheme and the Logistics Promotion Funding Scheme under the Maritime and Aviation Training Fund (MATF) in January this year.  These schemes aim to enhance promotion and talent development in the logistics sector in line with new developments in smart and green logistics.  We also launched the Aviation Promotion Project Funding Scheme to fund activities organised by local aviation‑related organisations and academic institutions, while promoting to different sectors of the community the development of our aviation industry and the opportunities available.  The TLB will conduct a comprehensive review of the MATF this year, to gauge its effectiveness in attracting talent and promoting manpower development in the maritime and aviation sectors.
