SEMI International Talents Expo to highlight Taiwan’s renowned semiconductor industry

T

he increasingly popular adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), big data and Internet of Things (IoT) globally in recent times has affected the demand for chip computing and talented semiconductor workers.

Taiwan, a powerhouse in the semiconductor industry, occupies a crucial role in the global supply chain thanks to its own sophisticated semiconductor industry chain and resources. Its closely integrated semiconductor upstream and downstream industries have allowed Taiwan to enjoy a high market share in semiconductor design, manufacturing and packaging.

From 2020 to 2021, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry grew year-on-year by 26.7 percent from US$100.5 billion to $134.5 billion, making it the second largest worldwide in terms of output value.

Reflecting its status as a global powerhouse, the Taiwanese government is actively building Taiwan into a semiconductor advanced process center and high-end manufacturing center in Asia. It has been actively recruiting talented workers from Europe and Southeast Asia to join the Taiwanese semiconductor team to elevate its output value.

To that end, Taiwan’s Industrial Development Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has introduced an Industry-Academia Cultivation Program of High-level Talents in Semiconductor Industry, collaborating with Taiwan’s renowned semiconductor companies and top universities to host the International Semiconductor Talent Recruitment Online Expo.

Slated to run from Oct. 11 to 18, the expo aims to recruit junior university students, senior university students, master’s students and Ph.D. students studying in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the top universities of Europe and Southeast Asia.

The one week-long event will introduce virtual booths and platforms as well as online activities held in real time. The digital platform will enable students and those interested in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry to browse relevant information and submit their resumes anytime, anywhere.

Additionally, different online activities held with the National Immigration Agency will be arranged daily to explain in detail Taiwan’s study and work-related visa information. Notable Taiwanese companies including TSMC, MediaTek, Micron Technology, Realtek Semiconductor and UMC will also be asked to host talent recruitment seminars.

Furthermore, a student admissions event featuring well-known universities such as the National Taiwan University, the National Tsing Hua University, the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and the National Cheng Kung University will be organized to educate international students interested in studying in Taiwan.

Finally, a special seminar for international students to discuss the topics of studying and working in Taiwan as well as the semiconductor industry will be hosted.

Taiwan welcomes foreign talents to join its semiconductor industry and is committed to providing them with favorable and suitable study and work environments such as improving the identification of professional talents, loosening the requirements for permanent residence applications and offering more encouraging tax incentives and social security measures.

Ultimately, the Taiwanese government aims to help draw international talents to study and work in the semiconductor industry. Those with even a fleeting interest in studying or working in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry will not want to miss this event.
