Once I received the Enterprise Visit admission confirmation, I was eager to meet other participants from different countries and cultures. Even though I had industrial working experience in India, I was not certain whether the working style and culture of Taiwanese companies. Excellent manufacturing is well-known to Taiwanese enterprises that make me want to learn from these leading companies. Our first visit was to InvesTaiwan Service Center where I learned how the Taiwan Government can help us with investment and job search. For investment, the government agency can help searching for potential business partners. As for job finding, foreign talents are evaluated based on the Point System with minimum requirement of 70 points. And the Contact Taiwan website can help matching potential recruiters between foreigners and corporates. Another important finding for me is that Taiwan is one of the best destinations for anyone to invest or work amongst the Asian countries in terms of lifestyle and growth. Being new here, this was a big finding for me. Therefore, I can start to prepare myself for working or investing in Taiwan as early as I can. The visiting companies included MiTAC, Advantech, Rhymebus, HIWIN and CTCI Corporation. I learned about how company like MiTAC is evolving as an IT company specializing in system integration. MiTAC is trying to solve traffic problem with smart card as the single card for all transactions. That is a really brilliant idea, because most countries have multiple cards for each and every type of transit. Advantech is number one company in industrial computer and has been trying to become expert in IOT and industry 4.0. Rhymebus manufactures inverter and focuses on green technology. HIWIN is a linear motion control company that has started building robots and many other products. CTCI Corp. has shown how foreign talents can work and enjoy life in Taiwan. After interacting with company staffs and students from different countries, I felt more confident about my future once I started working for betterment of the society. I realized that Taiwan corporate culture matches global standard, and all the companies take care of their employees by providing working motivation and freedom. CTCI Foundation takes good care of 31 international students from different countries and with distinct cultures and religions as participants never felt uncomfortable during the trip. What I learn from the trip is that, despite of the differences among us, all of us aim to make this world more sustainable and better for all human kind. CTCI’s annual funding of total 60 international students for the Enterprise Visit is a significant and unique way to do CSR by uniting the world and bridging the communication gap. Thanks to CTCI Foundation for the effort.
