At this event, our guest speaker will clarify the legalese and background of the employment and immigration regulations that apply to foreign professionals working in Taiwan. He will also talk about the latest policies, targets, and direction of the government's recruitment initiatives. The information presented will be relevant to ECCT member companies who want to hire foreigners, both from within Taiwan or from abroad, from graduating students to professionals to company executives.  The event will also offer an opportunity for members and guests to provide first-hand feedback to the government on the job market and how the government can better adapt its recruitment initiatives to benefit employers.
