First, I wanna say big thanks to CTCI Foundation who give me a great opportunity to join this event. It's such an honor for me. I heard about this event from my friends who also joined this event last year, Satria, Popy, and Gilang from NCU. I was so excited because I want to know more about getting a job in Taiwan, especially in industry. As I guess, this event really fulfills my expectation. I am so happy to know that Taiwan is open with international students for getting a job in Taiwan. CTCI Foundation and InvestTaiwan seem like having a really strong will about this vision. They are very welcoming us. That makes us feel being supported. This event also gives us an opportunity to visit some industry in Taiwan, especially that related to our major. That helps us know more about the job atmosphere in Taiwan. Knowing how the industry work, what we will do in the company, the salary, and how the company treats the employee. Those help us to prepare for getting a job after graduation from Master or Ph.D. programs. The part that I love the most from this event is when the company showed us how the production of their products. That's really cool! They also gave us a very warm welcome. That makes us very motivated and know in detail how they work and what's related to our research on campus. Because we didn't get those experience on campus or by reading on the internet. They also gave us more information through the Q&A session. The interesting thing is that some company also care about the environment. They have CSR who take care of that. And also have a program to empower the employee to get a better work-life balance. That's great! Other things are we have a chance to know other international students from another campus. We talk about our work, our research, our goals, our cultures, our countries, etc. It's really fun! Maybe we will be a co-worker in the future. I believe it will give us a big advantage at work. A big thanks to CTCI Foundation. I hope this event will continue and help international students to make a good career in Taiwan. So, the Taiwan industries will be stronger.

My name is Nina Hartini, 23 years old. I am Indonesian. I am a master student from Departement of Chemical and Materials Engineering in National Yunlin University of Science and Technology. Taiwan is a multination country with many foreigners and many multination industries. It improve greatly time by time. This condition will be an advantage for many student to learn much new knowledges and to get many experiences. Studying in Taiwan will be a great change for everyone, including me, not only the offered scholarship but also the educational system itself. In addition, studying in Taiwan can also gain more experience as well as attending the enterprise visit held by CTCI Foundation. So, thank you CTCI Foundation for giving me the opportunity to take part in the industry visit. This enterprise visit gives me a lot of experience to know more about companies in Taiwan. Besides that, I was also given the opportunity to get to know new friends from various countries. One of the most interesting things about CTCI Corporation is taking an internship and applying for a scholarship. I would be glad if I could get my opportunity to internship and conduct experience in CTCI corporation. I have strong motivation, energetic and desire to learn about chemical process. I am confident and believe that my talent and my time will be used optimally and as best as possible. Thank you CTCI Foundation.

“A wonderful start for international-graduate-job-seekers in Taiwan” This three-day trip is one of the most amazing enterprise visits I have ever joined. All of the efforts and dedications CTCI Foundation team had put into organizing this activity paid off. From day one, I was welcomed by the friendliness of CTCI Foundation staffs. The orientation and the Taiwanese corporation visit were a burst of information. Those companies belong to different sectors and fields, from construction, energy, manufacturing, IT to green technology. We, around 30 students, were provided so much knowledge about their corporation history and operation, as well as real company tours. Job vacancies, which were among our top concerns, were also brought to us with their specific requirements and preferences. Last day, we were brought to multiple renowned places, such as Jiu-Fen, Gold Museum and National Palace Museum. I strongly feel that CTCI Foundation cares about nurturing foreign “blood”, for they not only gave us work-related advice, but more crucially, showed us the culture and life in Taiwan. It would doubtlessly be a much more sustainable approach than pure occupation information provision. Thank you, Dr. Yang, for all of your advice regarding job hunting. Thank you, Caroline, for being such a caring tour guide. Thank you, Victoria, for always making us feel safe and supported. Thank you, Jui-Min, for your silent work as our photographer. 很喜歡您們送的月餅,更珍惜您們爲我們那麽貼心。感謝 CTCI Foundation!

The trip was very well organized. From the first presentation at InvesTaiwan through all the impressions at different companies and places in Taiwan until the drop-off at the Taipei Main Station. The organizers took care of any needs of the participants and it was a great opportunity to be part of this trip organized by CTCI Foundation. Even the unplanned situations, could not let the organizers lose their calmness. In the fish restaurant on Thursday night, our table with non-pork eaters had a dish with pork inside. We figured out quickly though and the dish was replaced by some non-pork food. The organizers were very warm-hearted and it was easy to talk to them about anything we wanted to know about Taiwan. I have never had the chance before to talk in such detail about the career paths, opportunities and company cultures present in the Taiwanese environment. The insight was eye-opening and I hope the future participants will also take advantage of this one-time opportunity. Regarding the selected candidates, there was a great mix of different people with different views. International students from all over Taiwan from mostly south-east Asian countries with STEM-background were represented. The group spread very pleasant vibes. A great condition to get to know all this people from different background. For sure, every participant had a unique story to share, which made this trip invaluable. I was quite surprised though, that seven people from NTUST joined the trip. All in all, I am really satisfied with the trip. I am happy about all the people I met and the very interesting time we have spent together. It was a pleasure to be part of such a special event. Thank you so much CTCI Foundation for all the effort!
