In São Paulo, the program centered on the exhibition “Silk Connects Mountains and Seas: From China to Brazil,” the demonstration “Beyond the Mulberry Fields: China Sericulture Intangible Cultural Heritages,” and a Sino-Brazilian academic symposium on museums and sustainable heritage. The opening at the Museum of Immigration brought together officials and museum representatives from both countries. Prior to the opening, local children joined hands-on workshops in gilded fan printing and loom weaving led by the China National Silk Museum, linking young audiences to Chinese craft traditions.

Initiated by China’s National Cultural Heritage Administration and the Zhejiang Provincial Government, the Silk Road Week has become a key platform for cultural dialogue and museum cooperation. Brazil, as the 2025 Guest Country of Honor, hosted the event’s final chapter, showcasing the living legacy of silk.

Jointly curated by the China National Silk Museum and the Museum of Immigration, “Silk Connects Mountains and Seas” is part of China’s “Bridges of Civilization” initiative, exploring how silk linked continents and cultures. The exhibition runs through March 2026.

In Foz do Iguaçu, “Splendors of Silk: Chinese Silk Art,” organized by the Zhejiang culture and relics departments, showcased silk works blending tradition and modern design. During the event, the China National Silk Museum and the city signed a three-year agreement to establish an “Overseas Gallery of CNSM,” advancing cultural collaboration.

A highlight was the “Sino-Brazil Fashion Appointment: Silk Road Heritage Innovation Design,” inspired by auspicious Silk Road patterns.

The Brazil finale honored shared heritage and a vision of cultural sustainability, showing how silk connects civilizations across mountains and seas.

Jockey Club Multiple Pathways Initiative – CLAP-TECH Pathway, Led by HKBU, Releases Report Highlighting the Importance of Vocational and Professional Education and Training in Creating Multiple Pathways for Secondary Students Calls for Regularisation in Senior Secondary Curriculum

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 October 2025 – Led by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Jockey Club Multiple Pathways Initiative – CLAP-TECH Pathway (CLAP-TECH) today released an independently conducted first-phase evaluation report assessing the impact and effectiveness of the pilot programme over its initial five years.

CLAP-TECH Image 1

The report recognised CLAP-TECH as Hong Kong’s first through-train Vocational and Professional Education and Training (VPET) pathway in mainstream senior secondary and post-secondary education, noting its remarkable success in providing students with unique and effective learning experiences. Students have shown comprehensive improvement in both soft and hard skills, gained a clearer understanding of their opportunities and abilities, and are able to make informed decisions about their future pathways. Graduates have pursued a variety of pathways — including further studies, employment, and entrepreneurship — demonstrating that the programme effectively supports students’ career development and creates diverse learning and employment opportunities for students from different backgrounds.

Furthermore, the report chronicled CLAP-TECH’s five-year journey, underscoring the viability of regularising VPET within the senior secondary curriculum, and urged the Hong Kong government to enable students to concurrently pursue VPET qualifications within the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) framework.

Piloted Model Promoted Diverse Pathways, Equipping Students for Their Future

According to the report, 90% of the programme graduates indicated that they had made informed decisions about their future and were able to pursue diverse options like employment or further studies based on their interests and aptitudes. This stands in stark contrast to the 69% of their non-participating peers, underscoring the significant advantage of early vocational and professional exposure in preparing senior secondary students for successful transitions into their future endeavours. In addition, CLAP-TECH’s holistic curriculum, which seamlessly weaves classroom learning, career and life development activities, internships and workplace experiences, effectively equips students with essential hard and soft skills for the professional world.

Nearly half (46%) of students who took the Applied Learning (ApL) Course in Tech Basics under the programme, and a third (33%) of those who took the Applied Learning Course in Multimedia Storytelling, chose industries related to information technology or engineering, and media, communication, content creation, arts, and design, respectively. Taking the first cohort of students who completed the full “Through-Train Pathway” (graduated in 2024) as an example, some opted for further studies, while others secured employment with CLAP-TECH’s industry partners, and some even started their own businesses, fully demonstrating diverse career pathways.

VPET Delivered Significant Advantages, Especially for Underprivileged Students

The report revealed that CLAP-TECH graduates with comparatively lower HKDSE results (achieving Level 2 or below in five subjects) found the programme more helpful in making informed decisions (90.8%) compared to other students who met bachelor’s degree entry requirements (80%).

Furthermore, CLAP-TECH graduates residing in public or temporary housing reported a higher average self-assessment score in soft skills (86.3%) than students living in private housing or Home Ownership Scheme flats (76.6%). In terms of making informed choices, the proportion of underprivileged students was also higher than that of other students (89.7% versus 81%). This indicates that the pilot programme particularly enhances the practical skills and industry knowledge of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, enabling them to make informed decisions based on their abilities and interests through experiential learning early in their senior secondary curriculum.

Integrating VPET into Senior Secondary Curriculum Cultivates Students’ Essential Skills and Values

The CLAP-TECH curriculum integrates vocational and career development skills with theoretical knowledge, aiming to enhance students’ industry knowledge and interest in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Creative Media. Within the ICT field, 82.8% of graduates affirmed that the programme deepened their industry knowledge, while 88.3% of students reported a surge in industry interest — figures markedly surpassing those of their non-participating schoolmates.

More pronounced results were observed in the Creative Media track, where 93.8% of graduates credited the programme with expanding their industry knowledge and 95.3% reported heightened interest, a proportion far exceeding that of non-participating students from the same schools (industry knowledge: 45.5%, interest: 54.6%). Moreover, the programme yielded substantial improvements in students’ career and life planning capabilities, cultivating essential soft skills, fostering positive values and character traits (See Appendix 1 for detailed results).

Strategic Expansion of Senior Secondary VPET Curriculum to Alleviate Workforce Mismatch

The report also identified the implementation of a tripartite partnership among secondary schools, industry partners and HKBU as a contributing factor to the programme’s success. Over 90 participating schools and 1,400 students have been involved in the programme, resulting in more than 4,300 instances of activity participation. Additionally, the programme benefited from strong support from over 40 industry partners, with more than 360 industry mentors from various fields consistently interacting with students through the Career Mentorship Programme.

The report posited that CLAP-TECH’s VPET model exhibits a high level of replication and sustainability, offering considerable advantages for students and society as a whole.

Andrew Ho, Director of Jockey Club Multiple Pathways Initiative – CLAP-TECH Centre, said: “Based on the CLAP-TECH experience, incorporating VPET into the senior secondary curriculum yields multiple educational and societal benefits. The report suggested the government strengthen senior secondary career planning by allowing concurrent vocational studies within the mainstream HKDSE framework or by adding vocational elements to existing courses. This would help students make informed decisions about life and career exploration, and also facilitate progression through the VPET curriculum for those who wish to pursue higher education. It serves as compelling evidence that CLAP-TECH’s pilot model equips students with vital workforce skills and empowers informed career decisions, effectively reducing manpower mismatches and bolstering Hong Kong’s long-term productivity and economic engagement, thus strengthening its future.”

Graduates indicated an average self-assessment score of 90.6%, significantly higher than the 75% reported by non-participating students. Out of the 10 essential soft skills, notable increments were observed in eight of the key skills, namely “Collaboration”, “Integrity”, “Responsibility”, “Analytical Thinking”, “Curiosity”, “Motivation”, “Self-Management” and “Resilience”.
Values and Personality Growth Graduates demonstrated an increased emphasis on “Compliance” and “Dependability” (importance of following instructions rose from 63.7% to 80.4%). They also showed greater appreciation for “Variety” and “Adaptability”. (The importance placed on having influence rose from 49.2% to 58.2%) Graduates aspired to leadership roles and to make an impact through creativity.

impress.ai Unveils Savos: The AI Hiring Ally That Ends Disconnected Hiring

SINGAPORE, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — impress.ai today announced the launch of Savos, a revolutionary AI-powered hiring ally designed to solve one of the most pressing challenges in modern recruitment: disconnected hiring. Savos is a sophisticated multi-agent system that seamlessly connects recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates, streamlining communication and improving two key metrics that matter most: time from application to interview and interview-to-hire ratio.

The Hidden Costs of Disconnected Hiring

Modern recruitment has become a tangle of tools, hand-offs, and guesswork. As AI-powered application bots flood inboxes, hiring teams spend more time managing noise than making decisions. Recruiters get buried under a mountain of resumes, chasing feedback that never comes, juggling a dozen tools that barely talk to each other. Hiring managers walk into interviews unprepared, while the candidates wait in silence.

The result? Slow decisions, wasted interviews, and missed talent.

“The hiring landscape has become an AI arms race as AI-powered assessment tools clash with AI-enhanced candidate submissions,” said Dr. Vaisagh Viswanathan, CEO & Co-Founder, impress.ai. “The answer isn’t full automation; it’s smarter augmentation, delivered through multi-agent AI systems that seamlessly embed into hiring workflows supporting every action. This approach elevates human judgment, ensuring we shift the focus back to what truly matters: people.”

Introducing Savos: The AI Hiring Ally that Connects People, Not Just Processes

At the heart of Savos is impress.ai‘s proprietary technology, deploying a trio of specialized AI agents designed to understand and align the goals of recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates. Savos optimizes every stage of the hiring lifecycle – dramatically cutting the time from application to interview and improving the interview-to-hire ratio, ultimately resulting in faster, more informed, and more successful hires.

Three AI Agents. One Unified Hiring Experience.

For Hiring Managers: A real-time interview assistant ensures each interview is informed and impactful, empowering hiring managers to make confident decisions with tailored insights into candidates’ strengths and role fit.

For Candidates: A single AI-guided touchpoint creates a consistent, engaging experience, ensuring candidates feel valued and connected throughout the hiring process.

For Recruiters: Savos transforms recruiters into talent architects, equipping them to design smarter talent strategies and shape the future of recruitment.

Fast, Seamless Deployment: A Cohesive Hiring Journey

Savos can be deployed the same day, instantly creating a cohesive and efficient hiring journey that prioritizes human connection over rigid automation. By seamlessly integrating into existing workflows, Savos enables recruitment teams to make smarter decisions faster, improving both the speed and quality of their hiring outcomes.
