Q: Will there be an increase in industry category skill test examinations or skill training classes in different languages?

Answer:

(1) The Ministry of Labor will invite the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Science and Technology, Construction and Planning Agency, Public Construction Commission and related competent authorities for target industries to conduct an inventory of industry needs and plan more courses or translate subject examination questions in certification categories foreign workers are more likely to sign up to sit exams. In the future, test processes will be refined to better enable employers to apply for foreign workers to be re-designated intermediate skilled workers.
(2) The industry talent investment program and industry upgrading and transformation related courses work with private sector training agencies (including industry groups, union groups, institutions of higher learning, and training agencies) to jointly establish training courses. If an employer has a recommendation regarding a program it can be submitted to the training agency as agencies submit proposals and applications in February or October.
