Professor Taylor is also experienced in teaching/ lecturing and guiding PhDs, masters, undergraduates and even high school students; guiding them in their choice of careers, courses and the selection of colleges and universities across the globe.

As a Training and education consultancy, we are focused on two areas: as a partner in the development and delivery of programmes for international students and jointly innovating strategies for the recruitment of international students. We also provide practical support in the form of career planning and a range of languages and non-language programmes to pre-University learners, graduates and postgraduates in a number of subjects.

We provide comprehensive language support for international students, including tailored Spanish language options for programs such as Tourism and Hospitality Management, translation assistance for administrative staff, and short technical courses for tutors. Our team includes highly experienced Spanish teachers with more than 30 years of international teaching experience, along with qualified tutors in Korean, Japanese, French, Spanish, and German. Language programs are designed to align with students’ academic pathways and career goals, including support for those seeking international internships. Offerings are flexible in scope and available primarily in Spanish, French, and some German, depending on student needs and academic focus.

With our international partners we offer support for those seeking membership of professional bodies such as those for accountants, Marketing, exports and management. Linked to these are professional programs and opportunity to upgrade knowledge and skills for career progression and transition. Whatever, your learning need we will do the best we can to help you realise your full potential. We will grow with your ambition and encourage you to aim high, succeed and thrive.

What We Offer Partner Institutions

Collaborative Development Opportunities

We offer the opportunity to explore strategic cooperation in areas such as:

  • Language support to strengthen students’ and faculty capacity
  • Support for developing international links with higher education institutions worldwide
  • Promotion of postgraduate study and professional development pathways
    — particularly for students pursuing careers in Accounting, Finance, and Management

Support for Professional & Skills-Based Education

We recognize that, in Taiwan and many neighboring countries, professional qualifications are not yet widely appreciated. Globally—including in OECD nations—academic degrees have historically been prioritized over technical or professional pathways.

However, emerging technologies and market realities are shifting this perspective, as employers increasingly encounter:

  • Graduates with academic qualifications but limited work experience
  • Skills shortages in technical and vocational fields

We help institutions respond to this skills gap.

Alignment with Global Employment Trends

Today’s job market increasingly favors candidates with:

  • Professional qualifications, and
  • Job-ready technical skills

This is especially evident in fields such as:

  • Accounting & Finance
  • Computing (software & hardware)
  • Business Analytics
  • Cybersecurity
  • Information Science
  • Engineering
  • Medicine

This global trend is particularly meaningful for Taiwan, given its:

  • Declining population
  • Lower labor participation rate
  • Strong demand for technically skilled graduates

Insights from International Models

Data from the US and UK show that graduates with professional degrees experience lower unemployment rates.
A similar pattern has long existed in Germany and Austria, where robust technical training and apprenticeships support successful industries—especially advanced manufacturing and engineering.

Germany’s strong record is supported by:

  • Extensive technical education
  • Comprehensive apprenticeship systems
  • A large number of technical universities and institutions

Preparing Students for the Future

We must equip learners not only for current market demand, but for the evolving landscape—future-proofing skills.

Key realities include:

  • Markets are fluid; labor demand is shifting
  • Students increasingly need both academic and technical capabilities
  • Taiwan’s industrial landscape is transitioning toward innovation and technology

Government initiatives are reinforcing this shift by:

  • Promoting job-ready skills
  • Supporting career development programs
  • Investing in training for a more technically skilled workforce

Responding to Rising Asian Market Needs

Across Asia, cities such as Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Manila, and Jakarta are moving up the value chain with growing emphasis on:

  • Financial markets
  • Corporate finance

This drives rising demand for professionally trained graduates in Accounting and Finance.

Meanwhile:

  • Shenzhen leads in AI, computing, and electronics
  • Taiwan continues to dominate advanced microprocessor and semiconductor production

Major companies—including TSMC (Taiwan), Tencent and Alibaba (China), and global smartphone manufacturers—are creating strong demand for technically skilled graduates.

Growing Interest in Technical Pathways

Chinese students already gravitate toward technical disciplines such as:

  • Engineering
  • Finance
  • Management

High graduate unemployment further highlights the need for:

  • High-quality vocational pathways
  • Professional qualifications

While elite academic institutions remain important, the future will likely involve greater emphasis on practical, vocational, and professional education models.
