With a mission to better connect Taiwan with the global talent market and cultivate international talents locally, today National Taiwan University hosted the “NTU International Mentorship Program” Press Conference and Letter of Intent Signing Ceremony.
The event was hosted by NTU President Chung-Ming Kuan, and SCCT was there together with representatives from our Gold Members 愛立信通訊櫥窗（Ericsson Taiwan）and Atlas Copco Taiwan, looking forward to participating in the country’s premiere mentorship-style internship program, tailor made for international students this summer.
