<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; First of all, I would like to say thanks to whom make such opportunity for International graduate student in Taiwan to have a better understanding about job vacancies in Taiwan for their future career plan. Following, I summarize all my points of view about this trip: <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Invest Taiwan Service Center: providing some statistics about the number of students who applied through this channel also a number of successful applications, some descriptive analysis to categorize the existing positions, would be helpful for students to have a better understanding about the the job market. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CTCI Cooperation: everything was perfectly scheduled for our visit. Although I’m not familiar with civil engineering field, the introduction of the existing technology and how they adopted with Industry 4.0 (My research field) was interesting <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Phison Co.: since I am working for data management, Yield enhancement and fault detection for ICT industry during my Ph.D. studying, I was expected that such a big company like Phison has great backup for data- driven strategy, especially they mentioned about Big Data management, however I found that Big data, Industry 4.0 and IOT are fancy words for showing up that they are employing the new strategy but in reality still traditional system is working inside the company. From the business analytic points of view, Phison is a company which in close future will merge with another company, therefore collaboration with them is a bit risky. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hon Chuan group: sustainability and well transforming to the Industry 4.0 even for traditional Industry shows that for seeking a job is not necessary that looking for the High-tech industry, Hon Chuan has a complete package for all students from sales & marketing to power mechanical engineering, computer science or even biotechnology. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hiwin: I think Hiwin is one of the key component companies in Taiwan, however, due to our tight schedule, we didn’t have time to learn enough about this company, additionally some of their employees were not really professional to explain the details and return the answer to our question <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The most important thing I learned from this trip, stay optimistic for looking job in Taiwan, and improve my ability and skills.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My name is Pham Truong Nhat Phuong, a Ph.D. student from National Central University. Some days ago, I have golden opportunity to participate “2016 Enterprise Visit for International Graduate Students” held by CTCI Foundation. I think that trip is worthily memorable and changes my mind so much. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Firstly, I felt more and more confident to face with an international and professional environment, we lived with some students not only come from Southeast Asian or Taiwan but also from Africa or Europe. Actually, I thought that every person who joined this CTCI trip has some special abilities, and now I could see apparently. Some friends are non-Chinese speakers but they can speak Chinese very fluently. Additionally, they are also studying from top national universities of Taiwan such as NTU, NCKU, NTHU, and NTUST… I strongly think I have to study and practice a lot and to be a part of active researchers in future. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Secondly, every trip to Taiwan enterprises is an interesting story. The similarity between them is that their beginning point is just a small family firm. They built their own firm within twenty years as well as achieved international trademark and now, they are well-known giants. As the story of Taiwan Hon Chuan Group, actually, I have just known about their scope after the visit. An invisible giant who is very famous for its handling manufacture around the world, including Taiwan, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Mozambique. Another story is about Phison. This company was found by only “five-person”, but now Phison is a market leader in Flash controllers and applications including USB, SD, and SATA. At present, Phison has more than 1,100 employees, and its total capital reaches NT$ 1.97 billion. Maybe the most impressive story I suppose is about Hiwin Technologies Corporation. Established in 1989, Hiwin Technologies Corp. is the 2nd largest linear motion control and system technology manufacturer in the world. I was really impressed by their linear guideways. Thank their design; I have a sudden idea about damping problem in earthquake engineering. Moreover, I cannot forget to mention about Invest Taiwan Service Center owning to their information about working qualifications for a foreigner like me. Besides, I feel a little bit regret because we do not have any chances to visit a construction corporation. In my opinion, I think that Taiwan’s technologies for construction and high-rise building can sufficiently compare with Japan (in design and calculation for resisting earthquakes, structural or geotechnical problems).

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I feel very grateful to get a chance to join the 2016 Enterprise Visit for International Graduate Students event hosted by CTCI Foundation. From the beginning, I was planning to seek an experience to work abroad, so I decided to study to get my Master’s degree in Taiwan. I have an interest in microelectronics, especially in the semiconductor field, so I choose my major for my Master’s degree according to my interest above and hope that I can also be a part of Taiwan’s advanced semiconductor industry after I finish my master’s degree study. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This Enterprise Visit event gives me a lot of knowledge about how to get a job in Taiwan as a foreigner, and also insight about the big companies in several fields, such as CTCI Corporation as a company working on construction engineering, Phison as a company working on electronics, Taiwan Hon Chuan as a company working on beverage packaging area, and also Hiwin a company working on automation and robotics. This visit makes me know what kind of working environment I will face when I work in Taiwan in the future. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At first, I thought finding a job in Taiwan as a foreigner would be difficult because of the competition with the local talents is very tight. However, after joining this Enterprise Visit, I know which company are recruiting international talents, how to apply for a job. It makes me confident that I can get an offer to work in Taiwan after I graduated from university. I really want to get an experience to work in Taiwan’s advanced semiconductor industry, for it will not only good for me to learn Chinese and develop my skills in the industry at the same time but also could become a benefit for the company or even Taiwan in facing the globalization. I once again want to express my gratitude to CTCI Foundation who had given me a very good opportunity to join this Enterprise Visit, to experience a wonderful trip, and to get a lot of knowledge about Taiwan’s industry which will be very valuable for my own future. Thank you CTCI Foundation.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have participated in 2016 Enterprise Visit for International Graduate Students organized by CTCI Foundation. It was a tremendous and unforgettable experience that I ever had. I have seen part of Taiwan culture and its amazing high Tech industry. I have shared so many ideas with the other graduates and had a fun all the days that we were together. The trip was well organized and perfectly planned. I also want to pass my greatest appreciation to CTCI Foundation for preparing and financially support such kind of event.
