Career Development Learning Program
1. Industry-university Cooperation
-
Early Win - Workplace Experience Program
The objective of this program is to establish TS Holdings's active presence on university campuses, to recruit fourth-year undergraduates to second-year master's students who perform well in their academic study, and to continuously promote the notion of "becoming employed upon graduation". Through this program, students were provided with an extensive and comprehensive range of training courses, including courses on the organizational culture of TS Holdings, workplace communication skills, and FinTech digital finance, all of which afford students internship opportunities in a financial setting to prepare them for the real world. In 2025, a total of 102 interns transitioned into full-time roles. In the future, a campus ambassadorship plan will be introduced, where interns act as ambassadors and share their internship experiences, thus helping peers to not only learn about intern work but also improve their understanding of TS Holdings.

Financial Service Innovation Practices
To cultivate talent for financial innovation, TS Holdings has cooperated with the Department of Finance and Economics of Taiwan University since 2012 in a jointly developed course titled "Practices of Innovations in Financial Industry." This year marks the fourteenth year of the program. It has been very popular since its launch. The number of electives has been on the increase year after year. This year, 77 students are taking this elective. The manager of various units in TS Holdings such as personal finance, corporate finance, financial market, securities and life insurance joined the class to share contents including professional knowledge and innovative experience in products, marketing, investment, data analysis, and other aspects, so that students can have a deeper understanding of the financial service industry. In addition to arrangements for students to take a trip to TS Holdings, face-to-face engagement with the MA was also arranged for students to exchange knowledge of various professional fields and talk about future careers. In-person consultation and internship opportunities were provided as well to encourage industry–academia cooperation in nurturing the required financial innovation and interdisciplinary talents.
2. Comprehensive Financial Talent Training

3. Succession Program
TS Holdings has review panels, appraisals, and a talent evaluation committee available to assess its employees on a regular basis, and is therefore able to identify elite talents at various grades. The identified candidates are then assigned job duties and goals that help build up skills for their intended positions.
4. Diversified Talents
To strengthen the all-round competence and dedication of employees, TS Holdings has been maintaining a learning platform called "TS Holdings University", structured similarly to courses offered by university, that consolidates internal and external resources. As an incentive for self-motivated learning, TS Holdings introduced a "Learning Account" system in which every full-time employee is granted a credit of TWD 10,000 per year that staff can spend independently on foreign language training, computer courses, or license examination fee subsidies. The points can also be spent on lectures by famous experts, artistic and cultural activities, language training, various self-learning courses, and themed courses on any area in life, all in order to offer our staff sufficient resources to expand their knowledge and broaden their horizons.
Self-learning courses are designed around the concept of "Life Cycle," covering topics such as workplace soft skills, digital transformation, AI, and lifestyle. To support employees' physical and mental well-being, festival-themed activities are arranged, including "Valentine's Day Handmade Confession Candle" and "Mother's Day Handmade Leather Bag." In response to the financial accessibility initiative, universal design courses are also offered. Furthermore, in line with the spirit of ESG sustainability, handmade courses prioritize the use of eco-friendly materials for upcycling, and ESG-related topic seminars have been added, comprehensively meeting employees' needs in both professional and personal learning. In particular, we provided tickets to the Taipei TS Holdings Mars basketball games for employees to watch the games with companions, which was well received for promoting work-family balance and adding color to employees' lives.
In addition, we also promoted “fitness courses” and “marathon road running activities” in order to achieve a positive cycle including strengthening employees’ physical and mental health, developing regular exercise habits, and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, we introduced subsidies for diverse learning, online learning, on-the-job training to encourage lifelong learning, thereby achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In 2025, the number of people using the training passbook reached 8,201, and the number of points used exceeded 9.70 million points, an increase of as high as 28% in the number of users over the previous year.
