The Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Branch of the Workforce Development Agency, Ministry of Labor, announced today that the "Youth Employment Flagship Program" encourages enterprises to employ young people through a "hire first, train later" model, where senior employees provide hands-on training to help young people adapt to the workplace, become familiar with operations, and enhance their professional skills. A single enterprise can receive a maximum annual subsidy of NT$1.8 million, reducing their employment costs.
Liu Bang-dong, director of the Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Branch, cited Taiwan Enci Co., which specializes in industrial filter elements, as an example. Over three years, the company hired 37 young people through the Youth Employment Flagship Program, achieving a retention rate of nearly 80%, successfully injecting new blood and vitality into the team.
Huang Chun-ching, manager of Taiwan Enci Co.'s management department, stated that the industrial filter element industry has a high technical threshold, making talent cultivation difficult and requiring higher costs for talent development. The Youth Employment Flagship Program not only effectively reduces training burdens but also enhances new employees' willingness to stay through a mentorship system.
Shen Kai-chun, 27, a process engineer at Taiwan Enci, said that after entering the workplace through the Youth Employment Flagship Program, he grew rapidly under one-on-one mentorship, progressing from a novice to being able to work independently and even proactively proposing process optimization suggestions, which earned him company recognition and a great sense of accomplishment.
Liu Bang-dong explained that if enterprises employ young people aged 15 to 29, they will receive a subsidy of NT$12,000 per person per month for the first three months. If the salary reaches NT$34,000 or more, an additional subsidy of NT$6,000 per person per month will be provided for the fourth to sixth months, with a maximum of NT$54,000 per person. A single enterprise can receive a maximum annual subsidy of NT$1.8 million, substantially reducing employment costs.
Liu Bang-dong stated that in the past three years, well-known enterprises in the Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan area, such as Asia Air Survey, Standard Chem. & Pharm. Co., Eastern Tech. Co., Nandu Motors, and Queena Plaza Hotel, have participated in the Youth Employment Flagship Program, cumulatively offering over 21,000 job vacancies, demonstrating high recognition for the program from enterprises.
The Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Branch will hold an information session at 1:30 PM on the 16th at the Chiayi CPC Training Center. Enterprises are welcome to participate.
