YAGEO Corporation Starts a Global Recruitment of Management Trainee and Aims Their First Target at Foreign Students of NCKU
 
NCKU held a campus recruitment fair with YAGEO, an electronic component company that chose foreign students of NCKU as the target for the management trainee program. Alison Tung, the Chief Human Resources Officer, led many senior managers to interview in person, to find the best partner for their global deployment. Since NCKU and YAGEO set up a joint research center in November of 2020, this was the first recruitment fair that focused on foreign students of NCKU, and NCKU was the first university in which YAGEO recruited foreign students.
 
The target of YAGEO’s management trainee program is foreign students of NCKU. Nearly one hundred students signed up for the forum and one-on-one interview, and nearly half of them were new graduates. YAGEO planned to hire fifteen to twenty students and the job vacancies included process, equipment, research and development, quality management, information, production management, business, procurement and legal affairs. YAGEO claimed that this recruitment for foreign students of NCKU on March 9 was the first one that YAGEO recruited foreign students among Taiwan’s universities. YAGEO will arrange a complete position rotation training program for the employees, after a two-year training period, the foreign students will be allowed to choose whether they want to stay in Taiwan or transfer to overseas companies of YAGEO.
 
Alison Tung took herself as the example, shared that she worked as a secretary when she first entered the workforce, but she soon found her interest in human resources, therefore, she worked from a human resources coordinator all the way to the chief officer. She encouraged students to take every challenge when they are still young, the opportunity offered by YAGEO this time would help them find their interest. She also thought that in addition to the industry, students should also choose an iconic company to work in. She said, “You can’t  control the ups and downs of the industry, but you can  grow with a good company. YAGEO is a leading global electronic component company with capabilities on a global scale, so it will be your first choice when looking for a job in a related field.”
 
Woei-Jer Chuang, the Assistant Vice President of NCKU and the Director of Innovation Headquarters, said that “ a university not only offers knowledge, but also helps students construct their career.”He mentioned that the resources of NCKU are able to combine the advantages of academic and industry, and YAGEO's global deployment will benefits students’ horizons and future career. Therefore, he hopes students can do their best and he said that the Innovation Headquarters will provide assistance whenever students have great ideas to start a business or are willing to cooperate with enterprises.
 
YAGEO has been deeply involved in electronic components for many years, and has completed many M&As in recent years. So far, they own 47 sales locations and 49 production basements overseas, and establish 20 research and development centers in 25 countries. Due to their global deployment, they cooperated with NCKU, starting the training program of NCKU’s foreign students. Through a two-year training program, the students will be able to experience different positions, improving their professional skills and competency breadth. The purpose of this program is to prepare talents for global deployment, hoping to recruit outstanding talents for their overseas locations through the recruitment fair.
