Does the government encourage overseas Chinese students to stay in Taiwan to undertake internships or work after they graduate?
| 答覆 |
Overseas Chinese students who come to Taiwan to study enjoy the education resources invested in by Taiwan and gain an understanding of Taiwan’s culture, language, and life style. Having outstanding overseas Chinese students stay in Taiwan and enlisting their services will assist the international connections of Taiwan’s business and industry and assist Taiwan’s overall development. The specific measures adopted are outlined below: 1. Staying in Taiwan after graduation to do an internship: In June, 2011, the MOE established a mechanism for overseas Chinese students and international students to stay in Taiwan and undertake an internship after they graduate from a university or tertiary college in Taiwan, and since then many of the eligibility criteria for an internship application have been eased. A student who has gradated with a bachelor’s degree with an overall average score of at least 70; or with a master’s degree, or higher degree; or who received an award in a skills competition or technology exhibition is eligible to file an application. An internship may last at most until one year after graduation. 2. Staying in Taiwan after graduation to work: Since July 3, 2014, the Ministry of Labor has used a points-based quota system for overseas Chinese students and international students, under which an applicant scoring 70 points or higher is eligible to be employed in Taiwan. Points are given for eight criteria, comprising the applicant’s academic record and credentials; work experience; the salary level of the position offered; qualifications for the position; Chinese and other language(s) proficiency; having experience growing up in a foreign country; and fitting current government policies. Any international student, overseas Chinese student, or other overseas students of Chinese descent who has graduated from a public or accredited private junior college, tertiary college, or university in Taiwan and applies to stay in Taiwan to engage in work that requires professional or technical expertise or skill is not subject to the appointment restrictions that the monthly salary must be higher than NT$47,971 and that the person appointed must have had 2 years of work experience after graduating from a university or tertiary college. |
