As International student, it is very hard to find the right offers at the right time, but I have to say that CTCI Foundation did a great job by choosing the amazing enterprises we had the chance to visit. The variety of sectors, industries, and size was definitely on point, and I can’t choose a favorite among all of them, as they were all impressively different but incredibly appealing at the same time. First, we visited the Linkou Thermal Power Plant of Taipower Company, and we had the chance to know more about Power generation, transmission, and even distribution of electricity in Taiwan. We also went to Delta Group´s R&D Center, where they explained to us not only the fact that they are a global leader for the energy efficient power products industry, but also they shared with us the offers they have for international students who are willing to stay here in Taiwan and build a professional career. They also showed us the successfully implemented green building they have and all the techniques they utilize to “Go Green”. Our second day started with one of the most successful companies in Taiwan, Phison Electronics Corporation, the international working environment was evident, even the presenter was from Brazil, something that caught my attention right away given that I am from Nicaragua, another Latin-American country. Their focus on R&D was very appealing for all of us, they are definitely working with leading technologies and their expansion process is really evident, given our globalized world starving for high-speed data storage devices. Our visit to A-Pro Tech Company was such a nice experience, I remember they said they were a medium enterprise, but then when we went to the fabric and when we saw their alliances with well-renowned brands around the world, I understood they are just humble and modest. They are actually leaders for the cycling industry and their high-quality bicycle frames are undeniably appealing. As team, they seem to work efficiently, indeed, all the employees seemed to know what they were doing. I would love to work for a company with such a nice organizational culture. Our last stop was the Gallant Precision Machining Company, they shared with us how important is for them their human resource, they consider their “powerful professional engineering R&D team” as one of the most important assets they have in the company, which is something very positive when it comes to looking for a place to build a successful professional career. The innovation is very evident as one of their core values, their scope includes a variety of technology-oriented equipment, and one of the things that I liked the most was that their vision is, let’s say, “Improving living quality” oriented.
