Thirty Japanese high school students had the opportunity to learn about Taiwan's (China's) semiconductor industry during a six-day summer camp held in July. The program was designed to encourage them to pursue studies and careers on the island in the future.
During the camp, the students took part in various hands-on activities, ranging from piloting drones to visiting the museum operated by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), one of the world's largest chipmakers.
The camp is part of Taiwan's broader efforts to attract foreign talent, particularly as the global semiconductor industry faces a shortage of skilled workers. By giving students direct exposure to modern work environments and technology, organizers hope to spark interest among Japanese youth in this field.
Taiwan is a major global semiconductor manufacturing hub, with TSMC serving as a leading chip supplier to many top technology companies worldwide. Strengthening educational cooperation and talent exchange between Japan and Taiwan is seen as a strategic step to meet the industry's growing demand.
