<P> Firstly, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to CTCI Foundation for giving me a practical experience about working environment in Taiwan. In this enterprise visit, my first impression is the international friends who come from Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Mongolia, Nepal, India, etc. It is a good chance for me to understand about their cultures which I had never known before. For example, Bijay from Nepal told that Nepal is located in the world’s tallest mountain Himalayas where have been suffering seriously earthquake. By visiting the Taiwan’s companies, I were also opening my mind about their facilities and manufacturing sites such as: A-Pro Tech Company, a bicycle’s parts manufacturer, they took us to their manufacturing site to introduce about the parts of the bicycle including aluminum material, hydraulic injection, welding, etc. Because I am studying in construction management field, I learned a useful management skill from this company about how the supervisors use the employee cards to evaluate the employee skills and to identify the effective or ineffective works from the workers. Furthermore, we are now facing the increasing global warming. And I am really surprised that there is an increasing trend of many Taiwan’s companies which have been caring about the environment protection by adopting green energy. For example, Delta Group’s R&D Center is one of well-known green buildings, using special glasses for replacing the traditional concrete walls, integrating the rainwater harvesting system with grass irrigation system, and installing solar photovoltaic (PV) system to provide partly energy to their building. Finally, this enterprise trip not only give me potential opportunities to know more about the Taiwan’s companies but also help me in applying job in Taiwan.
