Taiwan’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) launches 2016 Taiwan Tech Trek (TTT) internship program and begins accepting on-line applications

The TTT program is part of the Taiwan government’s overall effort to recruit new generations of overseas Taiwanese for the purpose of raising Taiwan’s overall competitiveness. This generation possesses the language abilities, professional expertise, and international savvy that are advantageous to Taiwan’s S&T industries and manpower needs. Building a strategic liaison with this generation can create an academic and social network between Taiwan’s industries and overseas Taiwanese youth, infuse fresh energy into Taiwan’s workforce, and ultimately increase international participation for Taiwan. Opportunities will be available to interns at outstanding research institutes, renowned science parks, national laboratories, universities, national museums, and high-tech companies.

TTT 2016 is an eight-week program beginning in late-June 2016. Around 230~280 youth adults of Taiwanese ancestry aged 18~30 will be recruited from various countries through a selective application process. Applications must be submitted between Jan. 7 to Feb. 2, 2016. For details on qualifications and on-line application, please visit MOST website at: https://www.most.gov.tw/ttt or https://ap0512.most.gov.tw/ttt/.
