The 2018 Enterprise Visit was well scheduled and conducted. A suggestion to make this useful activity even better is that, for each tier of the trips, CTCI Foundation Committee could match the fields of interest and major of studies of participants with selected enterprises to be visited. That could help participants to enjoy their visits and have the opportunity to meet their potential future employers at the same time.

Actually, the 2018 Enterprise Visit exceeded my expectation. The enterprise visit was a great opportunity for me to learn more insights about Taiwanese enterprises. Now I am considering getting a job here in Taiwan. As a foreigner, I could be a bridge between Taiwan and another part of the world. Thanks for all the information you have provided. Overall, CTCI Foundation did a great job to satisfy everyone. I was very happy to take part in this visit, and I would like to thank CTCI Foundation for this initiative. Keep up the good work! For sure, I will talk to many people about CTCI Foundation and the enterprise visit activities.

This is my first time to join enterprise visit with participants from many other countries. Personally, I think the enterprise visit was good. Throughout this trip, I visited various representative companies and learned about their productions and products. It is great to know many Taiwanese companies hire foreign employees. This activity also makes me realize that Taiwan has many good companies that we can work for or do business with in the future. Through it, I have built good connection with other international students as well as with CTCI Foundation staffs. All the CTCI staffs are great people whom made this enterprise visit to be such a great one. You made our job easy and thank you for that. You did such a great job and you are awesome!

Everything was perfect about the visits and its arrangement, and the visiting companies made us feel welcome. The overall experience was gratifying—it was an awesome opportunity to meet friends and learn about different enterprises in Taiwan, this would not have been possible by myself.

I enjoyed the Enterprise Visit event held by the CTCI Foundation and felt really satisfied. Aside from the great experiences of learning details of each company and its respective industry, I also made new friends. One of the advantages by participating in this event is that, I have an opportunity to forward my resume and CV to companies that we have visited. By viewing insights into the visited companies and real working fields, that help me better manage and prepare for the job requirements. CTCI staffs treated us very nicely and all schedules were arranged very well. Thanks to CTCI Foundation for the great experience!

The CTCI Enterprise Visit is one of the best group trips I have ever had in Taiwan. All credits of the event go to the organizing team. The overall management was really good and efficient. The staff was really good and helpful throughout the trip. The enterprise visit was quite a learning experience about the working culture in Taiwan. I was able to meet many other students and develop some good contacts with these friends from different countries and working backgrounds. Apart from this, the transportation between the venues was quite comfortable. The hotel rooms were cozy and the food was delicious. I would like to thank the CTCI Foundation for arranging very good accommodation facilities. Being part of this program also opens the door to possible opportunities to work in Taiwan. During this enterprise visit, I came to realize the importance of Chinese communication skills for finding a job in Taiwan. Overall, this enterprise visit allowed me to link up with people of similar interests, to constitute a comprehensive learning experience that would be helpful for my career ahead. To sum up, I would like to really thank the organizing committee and praise them for all the efforts they put into making this trip a great experience for all of us. I believe that CTCI Foundation tried their best. I am highly impressed by the overall trip and would love to recommend my friends for future enterprise trips.

I would like to thank the CTCI Foundation for organizing the enterprise visit for international students to enlighten their industrial knowledge. I also would like to give special thanks to CTCI Foundation staffs during the trip for their friendliness and caretaking. This visit is really fruitful to international students because it creates a good platform for international graduate students to understand the industrial requirements for work and employment in Taiwan. The visit covers different kinds of industries including steel, opt-electronic, textile, manufacturing, and food processing industries; this is actually a good idea as it is beneficial for students to meet their dream industry based on their educational and research interests. The visit also offers a chance to learn new and interesting things which are outside students’ research circles. My feedback for the visited corporations and the visit is listed below: 1) The presentation by InvesTaiwan speakers helped us to know more information about the procedure of applying for a work permit. It also helped us to know more about the types of VISA, respective advantages and requirements. This is really useful. 2) The policy of green working environment by the Everest Textiles seems to be very attractive and unique. The strategies of “moonshot thinking 5+5 global distribution plan” and practice of Artificial Intelligence during their manufacturing process demonstrate their future forecasting capability. 3) Uni-President Enterprises is one of the unforgettable enterprises from the visit. I was so excited when I heard it is the manufacturer of daily products sold at 7-11 convenience stores. I appreciate the company’s statement that the addition of new things is always required for business to turn successful. I am so happy to hear that they are going to start business in India very soon. 4) The visit to Boltun Corporation created ever-lasting memory because of their name which is made up of “Bolt” and “Nut”. The presentation and the arrangements for the plant visit were very well organized. They displayed all kinds of bolt and nut and discussed a lot of technical information of manufacturing during the plant visit. 5) The presentation of HCP Pump Manufacturer discussed about the importance of water and pump as well as changed the idea of the pump in general people’s mind. I am excited to see that different research opportunities are available in pump manufacturing. It is a really good experience to have a closer look at the pump products and customized pumps. 6) LITE-ON Technology is one of the enterprises which I am personally glad to visit because my research is more related to the optoelectronic industry and it is my first time to visit a semiconductor fabrication plant site. The practice of lean manufacturing at their production line seems more convincing and reasonable. The LITE-ON staffs explained very precisely about manufacturing process. I appreciate LITE-ON greatly because a lot of semiconductor industries would not allow guests to actually see their product processes. 7) Last but not least, I am so pleased to share the experience about the visit to the evergreen steel industry in the name of China Steel Corporation, since my bachelor degree of Metallurgical Engineering is related to the study of materials extraction and properties. Since I got a chance to visit two leading public sector steel manufacturing industries while I was pursuing my bachelor studies, therefore, I could understand how hard it is to visit a grand steel factory site in one hour. CSC tried to show all the processes by sitting on a bus which was truly appreciated. That’s the first time that I knew Taiwan has an integrated steel plant to produce in high quality and large quantities of steels compares to China. 8) The sightseeing on the last day of the trip was really mind-blowing and I look forward to having such day again in my life. The photos taken in Taiwan Mirror Glass Gallery are stunning and I have received a lot of likes and comments from friends on the social network. Thanks again to CTCI Foundation for offering me the chance to go on the trip, as well as taking care of arrangements, and caretaking of all the international students. The hospitality, foods and gifts are really excellent.

For the 2018 enterprise visit, the companies we visited in the trip are big and famous, and very well represent each specific industry. Through the company introductions and plant tours, we learned a lot about each corporation. As well, we also got to know some job opportunities. It was definitely a good starting point for us to look for a job in Taiwan. Furthermore, meals, transportation, and accommodation were all good. Thanks very much to CTCI Foundation for organizing such a meaningful event for international graduate students.

I enjoyed the Enterprise Visit and treasured the opportunity very much. The hospitality and dedication from the CTCI Foundation team were extraordinary, and these made me think the Taiwanese society is special. The visited companies are all great and doing remarkable business globally. We had a great learning experience while visiting these world-class renowned companies, having real-time glimpses of their manufacturing and production processes. Visiting Uni-President Corporation was of special interest to me personally. Since I am studying in the field of Biomedical Science, therefore, it would be great if few healthcare or biotech companies could be included for future enterprise visits. I will look forward to hearing future information and update from CTCI. Thank you for the support for foreign students.

Thank you for arranging this great event. Through this enterprise visit, I gain more insights to the industries in Taiwan. Hopefully, this event can act as bridge between international graduate students who wants to pursue their dream career to Taiwanese organizations.

Thank you so much for cordially selected and invited me in the enterprise visit tour. I appreciate all your efforts during the tour as well as I was highly impressed by pre-planning of three-day tour arrangements. I really enjoyed meetings with all famed enterprises. Finally, my high gratitude goes to entire CTCI team and all my international friends. I wish our contact with each other will last forever.

First of all, I would like to give my thanks to the CTCI Foundation for organizing this high quality trip and guiding us throughout the three days. I knew that Taiwan has many big enterprises, but it was through internet or television, this opportunity allowed me to visit these companies directly for the first time. I also would like to thank all of the visited companies for their warm welcome and introductions. Although my current research is not very relative to the visited companies, this trip has affected my view for the future. When I finish Ph.D. program here, I hope that I will have an opportunity to cooperate with a company or research center in Taiwan. I hope I can also learn many things in the professional working environment of these companies. As a lecturer, I have gained much experience for my part, and I will share many stories from this trip with my students. It was a great trip.

The trip of enterprise visit was very informative, and it helped me to make connections with my own academic domain. Besides the focused learning, we also enjoyed a lot from the trip. I respect the CTCI Foundation as it continuously provides all the necessary requirements according to the norms and interests of the students from diverse backgrounds and different countries. I consider myself to be very lucky to get a chance to visit Taiwan leading companies, which I don't think it would be possible for me to visit by myself. Thanks to the CTCI Foundation for providing this wonderful trip and experience. Overall, the enterprise visit was good and one of the most resourceful and best trips I had in Taiwan. The work CTCI Foundation is doing is really unique. Thanks for everything.

This is Hisyam from Malaysia. I'm a graduate student of National Chin-Yi University of Technology. After joining the Enterprise Visit sponsored by CTCI Foundation, I would like to thank the CTCI for give me the opportunity to be part of this knowledgeable program. I gain so many insights about the visited Taiwanese companies listed below: China Steel Corporation produces a range of steel products including plates, bars, wire rods, hot and cold rolled coils, electrical steel coils, hot-dip galvanized coils and Ti/Ni-base alloy. In its production, the corporate value of teamwork, entrepreneurial approach, pursuit of innovation is easily to be seen. The CSC group, which including its 26 subsidiaries, deems environmental protection and energy saving and centers its development in Asia. It is making efforts to become a resource-saving and eco-friendly group of global distinction. LITE-ON products are used in a board range of applications, such as computers, communications, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, LED lighting, cloud computing, industrial automation as well as biotech and healthcare. And it has been shifting its production focus from IT and communication towards IoT (Internet of Things) applications such as cloud computing, LED lighting, automotive, biotech, and industrial automation. HCP Pump Manufacturer is the most successful submersible pumps manufacturer in Taiwan, and has developed 20 different series and more than 300 models, each with its unique usage.
