Before going to visit the first company, Invest Taiwan Service Center (ITSC) gave us a great presentation to give me the necessary information about the recruitment criteria such as qualification, point system for international students to work in Taiwan. I also learned the methods and ways to look for jobs in Taiwan. It does help me a lot since I am planning to work in Taiwan after my graduation. Throughout the whole enterprise visit, I had learned a lot of new things about each company and corporations visited such as their background, their operation, their expertise, the development of their company and the job positions they may offer to the oversea talents. The green building from Delta Group had impressed me the most about their innovative technology to conserve water, energy and reduce the carbon dioxide emission. Besides the new things learned from these five companies, I had also gained a lot of information such as the culture and food of Taiwan. From this trip, I not only get to know that Taiwan Enterprises are welcoming foreign graduate students to join their company, but also know that these enterprises are demanding foreign talents to help them to expand their market internationally. Finally, I want to use two Chinese idiom to describe my feeling to this trip: 獲益良多 and 不枉此行. I hope this event can be organized every year to allow more international students to learn about the enterprise and the Taiwanese culture as well.

My name is Uranzaya Tsogtsaikhan. I am from Mongolia and studying in National Cheng Kung University. I participated “2016 Enterprise Visit for International Graduate Students”. It was really an amazing trip. We visited ITSC and 5 companies, including: Taipower, Delta, Phison, A-Pro, GPM. I really appreciate to join this trip, because it might be provide some good opportunities to stay and work here. Among those companies we visited, I would say that Phison is on the top of my favorite list. The main reason is that its chairman is also a foreign student, coming from Malaysia. His story shows that everyone can establish company and make money in Taiwan. Besides, I also like Phison’s philosophy. During their presentation, they emphasize that they like to hire someone who want to work long term and can grow with company. Thank CTCI Foundation for giving me this great opportunity and hopefully to successfully apply a good job in Taiwan.

It was my great pleasure to be a participant in the Enterprise Visit for International Graduate Student, 2016 organized by CTCI foundation. I learned lots of things from this trip. During the trip, some companies we visited taught me new ideas about the business models and their working environment, such as A-Pro Tech. Company and Gallant precision Machining Company. And some other companies taught me important lessons which I might not be well aware of before. For example, as we all know that thermal power generation emitted a lots of GHGs, the technology used by Linkou Thermal Power Plan to reduce the emission of CO2 was impressive. Besides, Delta Group has been using state-of-art energy saving technology and providing free electric charger for those employees who owned electric vehicles to save energy as well as to protect environment. Others technologies used in the elevators, lighting system and reserving rainwater for useful purpose are impressing. Finally, I was also inspired by the story of the Phison’s founder, Mr. Pen. The achievements achieved by him in such a young ages is outstanding, and it is a great honor to have this opportunity to have a face to face discussion with him.

I always thought that job applications in Taiwan were a hit or miss. Taiwan is an emerging economy with a plethora of potential foreign talents. But most of us are clueless. We know the value we can contribute to Taiwan’s economy but we are lost trying to establish a career. Because we don’t have the tools and connections to reach our applications, CTCI foundation serves as a North star, a guiding light, to give me this opportunity to see my potential working future in Taiwan. Furthermore, with the gallant efforts of InvesTaiwan Service Center serve, foreign talents will have a one-stop access to possibly the job of their dreams. For me, I do not fear venturing my own start-up company in Taiwan, just like the forerunner, Mr. Pen, chairman of Phison, because I know that there is an organized system for me, we can not only work hand in hand but also bolster Taiwan’s economic prosperity. With you, I look forward not only having a job, but also a career in Taiwan.

Currently, Taiwan’s industries have been providing high-end quality service or products with the least cost. But it has to follow the developing of “Industry 4.0”, in addition to condition monitoring and fault diagnosis, components and systems are able to gain self-awareness, which will provide management with more insight on the status of the factory. During this enterprise visit, I have observed one of the most well-known Intelligent Green Buildings in Taiwan, which was built by Delta Group. It provides a comfortable environment for people working there, and then significantly improves the overall productivity of Delta. From this point, I think “Industry 4.0” is coming soon in the human life. In addition, I also understand how the international young talents affecting the development and working culture of a successful company (Phison Electronics Corporation). I sure all of the experience will help me to develop my future career. Many thanks for the opportunity which CTCI Foundation and ITSC gave me.

我有幸被中技社遴選為企業參訪的學員之一。我們訪問了台灣的全球攬才中心、林口電廠、台達電、野寶、群聯和均豪等幾家公司。攬才中心是台灣政府為了引進全球科技人才，協助台灣發展的單位，參訪過程中，卓講師告訴了我們如何能留在台灣工作，以及台灣對於國際人才的渴望。在參訪的各家企業中，最難忘的莫屬台達電了，除了全自動的機器手臂，全球網絡監控等等一系列高科技的東西展現在我的眼前之外，在他們智慧綠建築中的室內通風系統，電梯節能系統等等和我所學的micro-grid control 有些千絲萬縷的關係，使我更加的注意這個公司。此外我也注意到了群聯公司的高性能SSD芯片的生產研發能力和他們全面的員工福利政策。經過這三天的活動，我的眼界無疑更擴寬了，世界很大，優秀的公司很多，我們仍需要努力學習。再此再度感謝中技社的領導們能給我這次參訪台灣先進公司的機會。

這次參訪活動帶給我的收穫頗豐。近年臺灣面臨核電重啟問題，而作為一個電力相關專業的學生，我對台電公司是很感興趣的。和大陸的電網公司、發電廠比較分散的形式不太一樣，臺灣電力公司是發電、輸電、配電全包。這次參觀的林口電廠擴建工程，恰好碰上供電吃緊的時段，所以當我們參觀的時候，林口電廠的機組已經有一台即時擴建完畢，才能確保電力的正常供應，讓我深感電力行業的從業者不容易。另外在參訪台達電的過程中，我也拓展了先前侷限的視野。我原來以為台達電僅作為OEM廠商給電腦整機提供電源，亦或是給專業設備提供電源適配器。參觀後才發現，現在電源業務只占台達所有業務的一小部分，更多的給客戶提供一種整體的解決方案，從節能減排到工業4.0。這個應該是一個企業順應時代變化，結合自身優勢不斷轉型的結果吧。其他的企業也都很有代表性，比如最近在SSD主控晶片行業比較有名的PHISON群聯電子，和自行車車架的代工廠商APRO野寶。但讓我感觸最深的是，是靠臺灣島上，千千萬萬工作崗位上的勞動者實實在在的努力奮鬥，不分高低貴賤，為了社會進步為了家庭而奉獻，那些人才是社會的中堅力量。最後，還是真心地感謝這次陪伴我們的來自中技社和攬才中心的工作人員，謝謝。

在中技社的帶領下，我有幸參加了這次企業的參訪活動，先後參訪了台電林口電廠、台達電子桃園研發中心、群聯電子股份有限公司、野寶科技股份有限公司和均豪精密工業股份有限公司，其中野寶科技股份有限公司給我留下了深刻的印象。雖然時間短暫，但感受頗深。首先在辦公大樓會議室工作人員向我們介紹了野寶公司，並且展示了公司生產的零件。接著我們參觀了生產車間，剛踏進生產車間就有一陣轟隆隆的聲音，工人們全神貫注地在各自的工作間一個一個地給零件上油、切割、打磨等等，每一道工序完成后又仔細地檢查后再接著下一個。雖然天氣很熱，工廠有的車間溫度特別高，豆大的汗珠在他們身上流淌，但似乎絲毫沒有影響他們的工作，讓我深深地被這些工人的敬業精神感動。我想這正好與公司所尊崇“踏實、拼搏、責任”的企業精神相應，不管以後從事什麽職業進入什麽企業，野寶公司的精神都是我應該學習的。

The Enterprise visit started the journey at very first to InvestTaiwan Service Center, and then we visited Linkou Thermal Power Plant, Delta Group, Phison, A-Pro Tech and GPM one by one. In general, we were presented those companies’ profiles and demonstrated those companies’ real-time business activity. They also welcomed graduates for job application. While visiting, we had a conversation with the administrator, chief director and deputy director of the Company. Overall, we had super awesome experience from the enterprise visit. Finally and foremost I would like to give my warmest thankful to the organizing committee for giving me this opportunity to involve such an educational event that is crucial to develop practical skills. It gives me valuable information to decide to work in Taiwan’s companies after completion of my PhD study. Thank you very much indeed.

My name is Vinsensius Viktor Limas from Indonesia. I am studying at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology for master degree, majoring in geotechnical engineering in construction engineering department. From the Enterprise Visit program held by CTCI foundation, I got a lot of experiences and knowledge. In this program, we have visited InvestTaiwan Service Center (ITSC) which provides job recruitment service and solutions for working issues in Taiwan. Besides, we also visited five other companies/factories in Taiwan and they all have given an introduction about their company profile and I think all of them are wonderful companies to work and provide their worker a positive and productive work environment. During the first day, we have a chance to visit the control room of Linkou Thermal Power Plant which has a huge and complicated system about the gas analyzer, turbine, seawater supply system, fueling system, etc. I am very impressed because all of them can be easily monitored here. Delta’s R&D Center is also a very impressive and eco-friendly place. It shows the high commitment of Delta to the environment. I learned how they construct and manage the smart building such as by using transparent glass, sunlight roof, rainwater storage system, elevator and parking lot system, etc. Those systems can provide enough lighting and radiation reflection, also efficiently use the available resources to save much energy. They also keep monitoring the energy saving performance as the real parameters. In this R&D center, many wonderful efficient power products are produced such as power supplies, telecom power, and PV inverters”. In the next day, we first visited Phison. They have very competent R&D teams, advanced and efficient technologies, ISO certified products, and also many patents. It has the markets internationally such as North America, Europe, Japan, China, Taiwan, etc. They keep producing the best products to satisfy the demand of the data storage market including NAND Flash controllers, USB, SD, eMMC, PATA, and SATA. And after that I also visited A-Pro, which produces bicycle and its sparepart. The manufacturing processes are also amazing, and you can feel A-Pro’s dedication through their team work and quality control. Although the company’s branches are still limited, I believe they have high potential to grow internationally. The last company we visited is GPM. This company has a very discipline system in order to make sure everything is precise. It develops some products such as semiconductor, lenses, medical, optical, laser applications, chemical, and precision machinery. The production processes are also very neat and maintained for its quality”. Although, for now I am still looking my desired job but I am grateful to join this event. It has given me a broader knowledge and relations. I hope that CTCI Foundation can keep committing to support international graduate students in Taiwan. Thank you very much.

During this enterprise visit, I have had the opportunity of getting many experiences and thoughts from several companies in Taiwan. I got a better understanding of how companies in Taiwan work as well as their working environments and facilities. I also realized about what kinds of working positions are the most required for these types of corporations, in this way I can focus my abilities and characters to match with these companies properly. I have seen with my own eyes the high involvement of entrepreneurship that has lead Taiwan to become a strong economy during the past years. Most of these companies share the same objective of internationalization and constant expansion. These organizations seem to be highly interested in recruiting foreigner to become part of their workforce, they really appreciate the qualities that a competent foreigner can offer for them, and I believe this is a positive aspect for their continuous development. I got many useful information and experiences from high-level managers that made me get a deeper understanding of the working and entrepreneurial life in Taiwan. Personally, I have realized of the high importance of choosing the right working position that can fulfill my expectations and potential dreams. This is because the job that I take will become my new lifestyle and possibly may be something that I will spend most of my time. Therefore, if I can work on something that I am highly interested in, then I believe I will feel my professional career completed in Taiwan. Being able to enjoy my life properly.

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.

My name is Anh Nguyen (Stacie), a Vietnamese graduate student in Taiwan. As foreign students, it is not easy for us to get in touch with Taiwanese companies and to experience working environment. This 3-day trip gave me that great chance to visit different companies around Taiwan, including Linkou Thermal Power Plant (Taipower, conctractor: CTCI Corporation), Delta Group’s R&D Center, Phison Electronics Corporation, A-Pro Tech Company, and Gallant Precision Machining Company. It is even more wonderful for me that I did visit A-Pro Tech, the company I will interview for, which allowed me to meet their staffs and get deep understanding about the products, manufacturing process and future plan. Lucky me right? I do feel like I receive a lottery knowing that. Keep calm guys! I will make you more jealous. I also met so many talented international friends who inspired me with their passion and experience living in Taiwan. We traveled all the way from Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, to Nantou and tasted each region’s best specialties as well as enjoyed beautiful landscape of this island. Such great three days gave me lifetime friendship, valuable contacts and hopefully a career in Taiwan.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am Bijay Prasad Jaysawal from Nepal. I am a Ph.D. student of Computer and Communication Engineering studying at National Cheng Kung University. I got a chance to join “2016 Enterprise Visit for International Graduate Students” organized by CTCI Foundation. I could say that CTCI Foundation has created a very good platform for international graduate students studying in Taiwan to gain some insight into Taiwanese industries, and the Taiwanese companies are also benefited by this event to attract international talents. The tour program included two days for industries visits and one day for excursion tour. All the arrangements were fascinating. This program gave me some idea about very good companies which attracted my interests, such as Delta Group, Gallant Precision Machining Company, and Phison Electronics Corporation. I also came to know about InvestTaiwan Service Center. I was really impressed with the concept of ITSC where Taiwan government wants to attract the international students to invest “their talents” in Taiwan. During the visit, I was really attracted by the Phison’s concept of social responsibility. They established a “Phison Farm” next to their headquarters, invited their employees to experience farming life and nature, and also associated their plants to some memorable events and collaboration with other companies. If I start a company in future, I will definitely adopt this interesting concept of Phison Farm. On the last day, the excursion tour included visiting Sun Moon Lake, Shuili Snake Kiln Pottery Culture Park, and CheCheng Station. All the places are beautiful where anyone can feel being close to nature. At last, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to CTCI Foundation and its member for all their efforts and giving me an opportunity to join the event.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; First I will like to express my gratitude for letting me be part of the enterprise visit. The visit was well organized and it could be seen that the enterprises were strategically selected, because all of the companies were leaders in their fields, which is a motivation to apply for them. During the past two years that I have been in Taiwan, I have never had the opportunity to be that close of the enterprise world, especially to such important companies. Even though my career is engineering-oriented, all the knowledge acquired during the master degree was just theoretical without access to the real business in Taiwan. Due to my background in Civil Engineering and Management and my master expertise in Project Management and BIM technology, CTCI Corporation (through the thermal plant expansion project) was the company that most call my attention. Construction engineering is one of the most demanding fields in Taiwan due to the new regulations of energy generation, so this visit really help me to apply for a suitable job. The other best company in this visit for me was Delta. Delta showed a great business area, especially for the green sustainable implementations that the company has. Even Delta’s building was LEED accredited, which shows great compromise with sustainability (another studied field in my career). In the case of Phison, I think it is a great company, even though its business activities are not related to my career. On contrary to Delta, Phison showed open to receive new talents, which was one of the objectives of this visit. In summary, it was a great experience in which I learned now how to apply to those companies, my understanding of Taiwan’s job opportunities is better. It was such a useful visit, especially with the introduction information given by Invest Taiwan Service Center. Thanks again for the opportunity,
