an institute aimed at supporting global skills development, will be established in Taiwan, Vice Labor Minister Lin San-quei (林三貴) said Saturday.
Next week, the Workforce Development Agency under the Ministry of Labor will sign a memorandum of understanding with WorldSkills International (WSI) on the matter, according to Lin, who serves as WSI vice president for special affairs.
The signing will coincide with the WSI board of directors’ standing committee meeting, which will be held in Taiwan for the first time in 69 years, Lin said.
The new ICBC will introduce Taiwan’s vocational strengths — such as carpentry and machinery — to countries in Africa and those targeted by Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy, Lin said.
