Industry-University Cooperation Program
Academic Exchange
To train talents and improve corporate competitiveness. To reduce the gap between theory and practice, promote employment upon graduation, and enable smooth transition into the working life. Since 2011, Taishin FHC has been cooperating with multiple universities, technology institutions and vocational schools to offer students the opportunity to learn skills and gain practical experience outside school, so that they can make a better transition into their careers upon graduation. Since 2012, Taishin has launched a course of "Financial Service Innovation Practices" at National Taiwan University; since 2017, it has worked with National Sun Yat-sen University to hold the "Financial Innovation Masters Program", hoping that the collaboration between industry and academia can not only get outstanding students ready for work, but can also become a new force to stabilize the growth of the Taishin talent pool.

Taishin Youth Volunteer Awards & Youth Volunteer Service Promotion Platform
Young students in Taiwan generally lack the independent thinking ability and the motivation to explore life goals under the pressure of exam-oriented education that emphasizes academic performance and the competitive environment. At the same time, social resources are mostly concentrated on students with outstanding academic performance, and valuesare oriented towards utilitarianism; thus, adolescents with poor academic performance or economic disadvantage are prone to character, family and social problems. However, Taiwan is rapidly entering a social structure of aging and declining birthrates, and it is necessary to actively develop and nurture young generations to make contributions and change the status quo together across generations.
Taishin Youth Foundation is the first welfare platform to honor middle-school students devoting to volunteering works, with the purpose of nurturing youth leaders, expanding social participation, and cultivating good character and civic literacy. It has continued to hold the annual "Taishin Youth Volunteer Awards" for 24 years so far, connecting the education community, the government, middle schools and charity groups, encouraging young people to actively participate in voluntary services and commending them for their participation.

SDGs of the United Nations
Internalizing the concept of sustainability in the service culture is a new trend. According to findings of the 24th Volunteer Service Survey, the services of young adults remain in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), mainly the goal "Quality Education" followed by "Good Health and Well-being" and "Partnerships for the goals." By using their creativity and social media networks, youth volunteers embrace diversity and inclusion in their community engagement and strive to align their service deeds with the 17 UN SDGs. They are also committed to realizing Taishin's main sustainability vision, "Dedicated to Sustainability," to achieve mutual prosperity in society.
