3 Cooperation on talent development

The German Volkswagen Group has established an education and
training center in Taipei City's Xizhi District. The center will be the company's
largest training organization in the Asia-Pacific region outside of China.
To establish a presence in Taiwan's EV market, the "e-Mobility Center"
designed specifically for EVs was expanded to become the training base
for EV technicians in Taiwan. VW is cooperating with Delta Electronics on
EV charging infrastructure as well. Honda Taiwan is engaging in industry-
academia cooperation with technical and vocational colleges in Pingtung for
training technical talent and to provide them with job opportunities.
