The Talent Circulation Summit is under way in the southern city of Kaohsiung. The summit is sponsored by the Talent Circulation Alliance (TCA), a program initiated by the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) in partnership with various government agencies.
Speaking at the event on Tuesday, AIT director William Brent Christensen said TCA aims to explore international talent exchange and training opportunities for the digital age. Christensen said TCA has invited Taiwan and more than 20 partners around the world to work together since the program was unveiled in April.
At the event, Vice President Chen Chien-jen said TCA promotes talent exchanges between the two countries.
"Taiwan and the United States have already started talent circulation. In the future, [we] will provide more opportunities for professionals, exchange students and like-minded talent [on both sides] and give young Taiwanese professionals and high-level workers on-the-job training. At the same time, [we] will offer American students and white-collar American workers in Taiwan similar opportunities to attract international talent to Taiwan," said Chen.
