The Ministry of Labor yesterday launched a nationwide program awarding cash to new graduates for taking full-time employment.

The program targets those aged 29 or younger who graduated last year and have been working for the same employer for at least three months, the ministry said.

Many young people begin working in their last year of study, so those who graduate this summer and have a full-time job covered by labor insurance since Jan. 15 are also eligible, the ministry added.

Applicants who have had the same job for three months would be awarded NT$20,000 in cash, with those staying on for six months would receive an additional NT$10,000, for a maximum of NT$30,000 per person, the ministry said in a news release.    [FULL  STORY]
