This report is based on my experience during the enterprise visit organized by CTCI Foundation in June (22-24), 2016. The enterprise visit started with an orientation meeting with the representatives of Invest Taiwan Service Centre. During this meeting, I came to know about the work permit regulations for the international students in Taiwan. Specifically, the points table illustrating the required number of points in each category was very useful to understand the work permit evaluation process. The most important thing I learnt during this meeting was the industry trend and the hot recruitment domains like Industry 4.0, bio medicine and devices, and smart systems. During the trip, there are several companies caught my attention. The first company was the Linkou Thermal Power Plant constructed by CTCI Corporation for the Taiwan Power Company. The power generation process flow was illustrated with an emphasis on the initiatives taken towards maintaining a clean and green environment. The next company was Delta Group’s R&D centre in Taoyuan. Being an electrical engineering student, I am highly motivated by the versatile electronic product lines of this company. This company emerged as the role model for a smart green system with dedicated efforts in energy efficient power products, health care systems, human machine interfaces, and several industrial automation systems like PCB assembly, SMT and motor production systems. And I also got an opportunity to visit Phison Electronics Corporation in Hsinchu. They gave an exposure to us on the current technologies and business trends of the company, and eliminated the communication gap between students and the company. I felt this experience when I discussed directly with the Human Resources Manager and the R&D Director of Phison. I was introduced to know the company’s expectations, policies, benefits and the work culture. The visit would be incomplete without the final day cultural trip and it was such a great pleasure to visit the beautiful places like Sun Moon Lake. When I visited the Xuan Zan temple, I am very happy to notice that the monk had visited several parts of India including my home town. Above all, I am able to contact several key persons of the companies which I visited during this trip, and it would be a great opportunity for me to find a suitable job in near future. Throughout the trip, I felt this trip was well planned and executed. It is such a valuable trip, and I would be thankful to the CTCI Foundation.
