Thanks much to the CTCI Foundation and staff for organizing this trip and providing a wonderful experience for foreign students! In my opinion, it is already a good thing that foundations such as CTCI are proactive in organizing these trips and encouraging foreign students to stay in Taiwan after graduation. Many foreigners that I have met in Taiwan are under the impression that Taiwan, in general, does not provide a welcoming work environment for foreigners. Trip such as this shows that there are government entities that are working to make it more welcoming for international talents. Even though the visit is designed for related fields of science or engineering students, I would recommend either making sure the trip includes a variety of companies, or targeting the trips for specific majors (i.e. engineering, marketing, sales, business). For example, the first trip could be for the aforementioned majors, and the second trip could be for other students from different degrees and interests. Thus, non- science or non-engineering major students can benefit from it too.
