1. In the fields of digital economy and financial technology industries, the cultivation of cybersecurity talent is crucial. Our school's Industry-Academia Linkage Office has teamed up with Google to promote the "Cybersecurity Personnel Training Program." This program helps students develop the high-demand skills necessary for foundational cybersecurity work and obtain relevant practical certifications, which can fill the skills gap in this field. It greatly benefits students' employment after graduation and lifelong learning, helping to meet industry demands and providing better employment opportunities. We hope to jointly promote this international course and certification content with Google, cultivating key abilities for students to enter global enterprises and contributing to alleviating Taiwan's cybersecurity talent shortage.
