TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan announced plans to attract 25,000 foreign students, mainly from Southeast Asia, annually to study and eventually stay and work in Taiwan.

As Taiwan’s birth rate continues to fall, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) said it will recruit international students to address industry labor shortages. The National Development Council estimated Taiwan’s labor market gap will be about 350,000 people by 2028 and 480,000 by 2030.

The ministry said that in August, more than 1,000 of about 24,000 companies expressed a strong demand for foreign talent, per CNA. Each company requested about 5,000 workers.

However, only around 19,000 international students study in Taiwan each year. The retention rate among those students is 47%, meaning less than 10,000 students stay for employment.

In the plan's first phase, the MOEA will cooperate with the Ministry of Education to match talents with industries. It will provide training to the students as they adjust to the workplace.

台北（台灣新聞）—台灣宣布計畫每年吸引25,000名外國學生，主要來自東南亞，來台就學，並最終留在台灣工作。

隨著台灣出生率持續下降，經濟部表示將招募國際學生，以應對產業勞動力短缺問題。國發會估計，到2028年，台灣勞動市場的缺口將達到約35萬人，而到2030年將擴大至48萬人。

經濟部表示，截至8月，約24,000家企業中已有超過1,000家表達對外國人才的強烈需求，根據中央社報導，每家企業平均需要約5,000名員工。

然而，目前每年在台灣就讀的國際學生僅約19,000人，而這些學生的留台率為47%，意味著最終留下來工作的學生不到10,000人。

在該計畫的第一階段，經濟部將與教育部合作，為企業與人才進行媒合，並提供職場適應訓練，幫助學生順利進入工作環境。
