Everything from the enterprise visit was perfect, and I have to say it is the best visit I have ever had during so many years living in Taiwan. We really enjoyed the enterprises' presentations. During the companies’ presentations, the participants had the opportunity to ask questions and visit the operation sites. This allowed positive, active, and direct exchanges of experiences between visitors and host companies. However, in terms of job opportunities, I realize that Chinese language proficiency is also part of the company's necessary requirements to hire employees for their business. On the side, the accommodation in every city was very good—all the hotels were upscale and I had very good sleep as the rooms were very comfortable. Our travel from one destination to the next was seamless and very well planned to save as much time as possible and the process was a great experience in itself. Moreover, the foods were so delicious. And the driver was very good with his driving and drove very safely. The bus was also very clean and comfortable. It is really high-class visit. In summary, the whole trip was extremely well-organized and offered so much more than we expected with all the interesting side trips on the third day, sightseeing, and a lot of surprises. Thanks to CTCI Foundation because the enterprise visit went well and we were very satisfied. Thank you very much for having arranged the magnificent trip we took!!

I learned so many things about Taiwan’s company culture, working environments, and job opportunities. Moreover, the presentation by InvesTaiwan gave us clear ideas about job and work permit which is the first step for any job seeking student. Most of the visited companies were somehow linked to my research as I came to learn about their job requirements. And I could consider if I want to seek jobs with these companies in the future. The most important thing about this trip is that there are candidates from different countries, cultures, universities and backgrounds, which helped me a lot when learning about different fields of studies and related trends. The CTCI staffs guided us during each company visit in such way that I don't have the words to express my feelings and gratitude towards them. The trip and its planning were wonderful, and hospitality from CTCI Foundation was awesome. Thanks to CTCI Foundation for organizing such a wonderful trip.

CTCI Foundation worked really hard with accuracy in finding and matching the most representative companies and participants that fulfill each other’s needs during the enterprise visit. The enterprise visit was carefully planned—even the most minimal detail was taken into consideration. The enterprise visit is one of the best opportunities for foreign students to get to know more about different Taiwanese companies, recruitment procedures, and related requirements, as it is hard for some of us to get enrolled into Taiwanese companies. It's been a great experience and opportunity for me. My desires to grow personally and professionally increased from the trip. Thanks so much to CTCI Foundation for the quality job done this year.

This is the first semester in my graduate study and the first time I visit industrial companies here in Taiwan. It is such a great experience for my studies. Thanks to InvesTaiwan. I got a lot of information about working in Taiwan, which sure can let me pursue my career in the future. This is especially a good program for international students, and I also met new friends from other countries. Finally, I hope this event will exist year after year.

The enterprise visit was perfect from the beginning until the end. Especially, it was great we were able to visit the Boltun Corporation and saw its actual processing operation. The coordinators gave detailed information throughout the visiting program. And the schedule and time management were efficient. I would like to say “keep up the good work”, and thank CTCI Foundation so much.

The 2018 Enterprise Visit held by the CTCI Foundation gave me a chance to learn a lot of new knowledge about enterprises and their factory operation in Taiwan. All the companies we visited are good and appropriate in the Industry 4.0 era. Few industries are categorized as steady industries such as China Steel Corporation and Boltun Corporation. CSC, which produces steel, improves its product quality by learning from different kinds of industries; while Boltun, which produces fasteners, adapts methods such as enlarging the range of industry to P2C by opening the Pineapple cake bakery store. I personally think CSC and Boltun have very good business models. In addition, these companies provided useful information about strategies on their industrial expansions in the future. Useful and emerging technologies were introduced, which opened new perspectives for these industries in the future. The trip also included sightseeing. The attractions we visited were interesting, especially the Taiwan Glass Factory. This helped us to know Taiwan’s culture. Through this Enterprise Visit event aims for international graduate students, all of us are able to understand how Taiwan conquers various industries globally. We learn a lot of new knowledge and company strategies on how to run business. Most important, this activity is an eye opening experience that could expand our job opportunities in Taiwan.

I want to thank the CTCI Foundation for organizing this interesting trip for international graduate students. I also really appreciated the hospitality of each company and this is a good sign of working environment which is extremely important to foreigners. The impact of such activity is obvious and visible: it is a great opportunity for us by connecting with successful companies and entrepreneurs, so we can learn from their experiences. These companies successfully integrate their working staffs as a team to achieve profit goals and earn money. The visit also inspires us as graduate students: I consider this as a good step for my future career, to bring back these experiences to our respective countries, and help contribute to our economic developments as well as environmental concerns. As the participating students are from different universities and specialize in various fields of study, this gathering helps us to build up new friendships which all of us can continue to profit in the future in many ways. It was a very well organized visit with a good plan. Everything was within the scheduled time. Big thanks to the organizing and accompanying staffs who arranged the visit to each company and also the driver. I hope that CTCI keeps doing this kind of trip so that other new graduate students can enjoy exploring more things about Taiwan.

I would like to thank CTCI Foundation for sponsoring all international participants for the interesting Enterprise Visit. I got a good chance to visit the top industrial companies in Taiwan. I can see and learn about how the companies are organized and running business logically.

For the enterprise visit activity, I remember on the first day, it was rainy while we were gathering around the meeting hall. Then our adventure started even though it was pouring rain outside. I knew from before that Taiwan has advanced technology, from the visit, not only did I get to see very high technological development, but I also saw wonderful art performance. We visited China Steel Corp., Uni-President Enterprises Corp. and other international manufacturers in Taiwan. I have to say thanks to all of the hosting corporations as they were very kind and helpful to everyone. In the last day, we travelled together through old sugar train station of Suan Tou Sugar Factory, Glass Museum and Bantaoyao. All of us had a lot of fun and enjoyed much from the trip. During the visits, I saw some foreigners who are working in Taiwanese factories and they have inspired me even though they did not speak Mandarin well—they were all trying to do their best. Personally, working abroad is a very unique experience for me in life. CTCI Foundation staffs organized this wonderful visit, and moreover, they tried to help us to explore job opportunities, as well as assistant us to stay on this beautiful island. In addition, I met new friends from different countries, learning about each other’s culture and helping each other out during the trip. A friend from Indonesia in particular has perspective that was completely different from mine. We exchanged ideas and thoughts about studies and many things. We are still keeping in touch, and now I have very good friends who are studying in other universities and in other cities of Taiwan. The CTCI staffs were helpful to everyone, talking and treating students with kindness. What I learned is that, kindness is not only helping people on daily aspects, but also treating them with kindness. The students were from different countries, but we were all treated as the same without difference. I would really like to say thanks to all CTCI staffs who guided me throughout this great trip to visit companies and local attractions. This enterprise visit was very wonderful and there were a lot of enjoyment and new experiences in my life. We had been together only for three days, but I felt these days were very interesting and enjoyed a lot. Thank you CTCI Foundation!

Generally speaking, I have been very satisfied with the trip of enterprise visits. Through it, I realize and learn about how each company started from scratch, built management system, took measures to deal with environmental pollution, and committed to the training and development of people, as well as quality of their products and innovations, so as to be competitive in the global market. I personally believe that this activity makes interesting impressions on students and helps us when considering about future career directions. As a student, it inspires me and shifts my future career direction to participate and contribute my best ability in different companies for better development. I am greatly appreciating CTCI Foundation for their initiations and grants for us to visit enterprises, and I recommend CTCI to continue this fantastic activity. Thank you so much!

The 2018 Enterprise Visit activity had been very enjoyable. I really want to give thanks to the CTCI Foundation, accompanying staffs, InvesTaiwan, all enterprises and fellow participants. I thoroughly enjoyed the three-day trip, and believe it is one of the best activities for international students who want to work in Taiwan after graduation. The best thing about this activity is that, it helps me to understand the current developing trends of enterprises and technologies which are applied in industries today. From there, I can build a suitable roadmap to fulfill my ambition to apply computer science and information engineering in the industry, as well as contribute to the development of society in general. Through visits to the enterprises, I realize that besides having good professional skills, Chinese proficiency is one of the most important requirements for finding a good job in Taiwan. This is a message which I will inform my international friends. And it would be a great omission if I forgot to mention our sightseeing on the third day of the activity. We visited various famous and interesting places in Chiayi and Changhua, places where we were immersed in beautiful nature and interesting stories of the country. I benefited tremendously from the 2018 Enterprise Visit. I will definitely introduce it to my friends, so that the benefits and meaning of the activity will be widely shared with everyone. Once again, I would like to send my deepest thanks to the CTCI Foundation, and especially accompanying staffs who worked really hard to give us a really great activity. I appreciate greatly and I am grateful for the assistance and support.

First of all, I would like to thank CTCI Foundation for this very high quality and useful program. Following are some feedbacks which I think are very good to keep for future visits. The program introduced various industries in Taiwan to international students and connected students and enterprises by providing a very good introduction on Taiwan's thriving industries and some companies’ productions and services. The selection of enterprises to visit was very well done as they are amongst the industry-leading companies of Taiwan. It is an excellent decision to include InvesTaiwan in the program. It is also excellent to include attraction visits with very good sightseeing sites. Aside from that, it is very positive as we were able to make connection with other students of different nationalities from universities in Taiwan. For me, this visit led to my growing interest to live and work in Taiwan. It also provided me with the opportunity to contact the enterprises and key managers there for future business and career purposes. I have an extra-ordinary respect to the CTCI Foundation team, for their professionalism, warmth, and friendliness. Emails were very well designed to give enough information to participants to make us ready before the trip. CTCI staff especially had very good attention to details and didn’t miss students’ needs.

This activity is very useful and interesting. As a foreigner, now I am aware that many Taiwanese companies offer job opportunities for foreign students. This activity provides all valuable information about how to apply for work permit and visa for employees. This is very useful for foreigners. Besides that, I also met many new friends from other countries and backgrounds. We were able to share with each other about our research and other things. At last, I really thank all the CTCI Foundation committees whom really take care of us. Overall, the three-day activity is really satisfactory. I will persuade my friends and my juniors to apply this activity in the near future.
