Taiwan’s Global View Monthly and 104 Job Bank recently released the results of their joint annual survey, the 2011 Assessment of Enterprises’ Favorite College Graduates. This year, out of all Taiwanese universities (both public and private), Tamkang placed second. In the categories ‘Improvement in the quality of graduates’ and ‘Actively pursuing improvement in personal ability and skills, Tamkang was ranked first.
The study listed the five characteristics of new employees that Taiwanese enterprises value most highly. In order of importance, they are: 1. an ability to learn and adapt; 2. a positive, proactive attitude; 3. professional knowledge and skills; 4. willingness to accommodate and stability on the job; and 5. a sense of responsibility and self-management.
These five qualities perfectly correlate with Tamkang’s educational philosophy: its “Three Circles and Five Disciplines of Education”. Moreover, TKU’s triple objectives of education (internationalization, information-oriented education, and future- oriented education) precisely correspond with the extra-curricular expertise sought after by Taiwanese enterprises.
Add to this TKU’s implementation of the Teaching Excellence Project, which aims to nurture exceptional students who possess an international outlook and an all-round education, and it is little wonder TKU performed so well in the recent survey.
