Chihuahua students will be able to train in Taiwan in semiconductor industry

CHIHUAHUA - During her working tour in Taiwan, the governor of Chihuahua, María Eugenia Campos, was able to finalize a training program that will allow students from the state to travel to that country and stay for 4 months to acquire advanced technical knowledge in key industrial sectors such as semiconductors, electromobility and automation.

In addition, the young beneficiaries will be able to obtain cultural and language training that will help them to immediately integrate into Taiwanese investments, according to the Chihuahua Secretariat of Innovation and Economic Development (SIDE).

With the initiative, those who graduate from this scheme will be able to share their knowledge with more students from the entity in a “train the trainers” approach.

This strategic alliance was signed by SIDE and the Instituto de Apoyo al Desarrollo Tecnológico (Inadet), with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan.

During his fourth day of activities, Campos Galvan visited the facilities of Wistron, a company that employs more than 2,000 people in Ciudad Juarez, in three plants that manufacture electronic tablets, notebooks and data storage systems, with high-level clients that include Amazon Web Services, META and NVIDIA.

The Chihuahua delegation also held a meeting with Inventec executives, which in the last four years has invested US$300 million in Juarez for the production of tablets, vehicle components and computers, as a supplier to companies such as Acer, Toshiba, Tesla and Siemens, among others. Sam Yeh, chairman of the company, acted as host and presented its innovation and growth projects worldwide.
