Regarding skill growth, Tung Tzu-wei pointed out the focus is on establishing a "Heping Island National-level Vocational Training Base," introducing national-level courses and instructors, focusing on smart manufacturing, green power storage, cold chain logistics, marine tourism, and cultural and creative industries. The goal is to quickly cultivate immediate combat readiness, allowing young people who want to change jobs or upgrade their skills to gain expertise right in Keelung.
