Freakin' Sweet Deal: Taiwan's "Intense 2+2" Program Attracts International Grads!
Taiwan's Ministry of Education (MOE) plans to entice international workers to take up jobs within the country.
Let's tackle the skinny on Taiwan's latest move to keep foreign students poppin' through their graduation and beyond. Here's the lowdown on the Ministry of Education's (MOE) fresh new program, called "Intense 2+2," that aims to lure international student talent to stay in Taiwan and explore buzzy job opportunities here.
Deputy Minister of Education, Yeh Ping-cheng, spilled the beans on August 6th, extolling the government's desire to provide full scholarships for students to years further their studies in Taiwan. Interested in bagging a Master's degree? Hell yeah! The program's fields of interest? Science, tech, engineering, mathematics, semiconductors, and finance! Sounds like a well-rounded party, huh?
Now, the "Intense 2+2" program ain't just about pushin' academic brains to the limit but also offers a hand to help int'l students score gigs in Taiwanese companies upon completion of their studies. Sweet, right? International students can unfurl their wings and fly with at least a two-year work stint in Taiwan under their belt, full of hands-on experience in the nation's industries.
But wait, there's more! The government is hell-bent on making it easier for foreign students to linger in Taiwan post-graduation. They're keen on slashing regulations so that students with top-notch skills can dig their roots deep into Taiwan's innovation and development scene.
To make the job search easier, the MOE has also launched a career development counseling program, offering services like internship matching, language courses, vocational training, and employment workshops. Sounds like the perfect recipe for success in Taiwan, eh?
In related news, the MOE rolled out the red carpet for North Dakota Department of Public Instruction Superintendent Kirsten Baesler and Josef Kolosky, the department's Office of School Approval and Opportunity Director. The visiting duo discussed deepening educational exchanges and cooperation between Taiwan and the US. They even sealed the deal with a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to include the Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language in North Dakota's Seal of Biliteracy. Crazy, right?
This whirlwind tour marks the 28th education-related MOU signed with 25 states since the US-Taiwan Education Initiative was launched in December 2020. The MOE is also working with the Foundation for Scholarly Exchange to bring in English teachers and teaching assistants from the US. Go international exchange!
So, there you have it – "Intense 2+2" is a kickin' plan to keep the Touchdown Taiwan train rollin' with international talent. With more opportunities and benefits coming down the pipeline, it's never been a better time to stake your claim on Taiwan!
