Taitung County is taking a proactive step to cultivate local talent in civil engineering by partnering with National Pingtung University of Science and Technology. This collaboration addresses a long-standing challenge for residents who previously had to travel significant distances to pursue specialized degrees, incurring substantial costs in time and money.

To cultivate local civil engineering talent, reduce the time and transportation costs for county residents to study in other cities, the Taitung County Government and the Department of Civil Engineering of National Pingtung University of Science and Technology are jointly organizing the 'Taitung Bachelor's Degree Program - Phase 1'.

โ€” Taitung County GovernmentExplaining the purpose of the collaboration.

The county government's initiative to bring the "Taitung Bachelor's Degree Program - Phase 1" directly to the community signifies a commitment to local development and empowerment. By offering courses on Saturdays, the program is designed to accommodate individuals seeking to advance their careers or gain professional certifications while balancing their current work commitments.

Taitung is vast, and residents who wish to study civil engineering need to travel back and forth to other counties, which is a heavy burden in terms of time and transportation. To cultivate local talent, we cooperate with National Pingtung University of Science and Technology to promote courses in Taitung, allowing county residents to obtain professional credits from a national university locally, fostering local continuing education, local empowerment, and local service talent cultivation.

The partnership with a reputable institution like National Pingtung University of Science and Technology ensures the quality and relevance of the education provided, making it a valuable resource for the community.

This civil engineering program is designed to cultivate talent with core competencies in civil engineering, meeting the continuing education needs of those who aspire to obtain a civil engineering license.
