[Applied Learning, Apply the Learning] ApL graduates share their success stories

Applied Learning (ApL) courses are valued elective subjects in senior secondary education. ApL offers studies with dual emphasis on practice and theory linked to broad professional and vocational fields. A flexible combination of ApL with core subjects, elective subjects and Other Learning Experiences helps provide holistic learning experiences with theoretical and applied learning opportunities catering for students’ diverse learning needs. The two short videos below feature two ApL graduates who studied the course "Medical Laboratory Science" and the course "Film and Videos" respectively. Through studying the ApL courses, the two students not only gained relevant knowledge of the respective fields but also identified their real interests, thereby building a solid foundation for further studies and career pursuits. They also shared their stories on how ApL had helped them pursue their further studies and realise their career aspirations step by step.
