In response to the Productivity 4.0 development policy, Taichung City Labor University has launched a series of special classes and courses to promote lifelong learning of labor and management to enhance enterprise and labor productivity. Among them, the most popular is the special class for industrial employees. Even CHMER, the world's top five electric discharge machine manufacturers, has applied to start the class. In addition, there is also a special class for employees who have been laid off for child care to improve their ability to return to work. The characteristic of the special class is that it is combined with the enterprise Operations, or assisting employees in returning to work to plan customized courses, which have substantial benefits and have received enthusiastic response.

Huang Heting, Director of Labor of the Taichung City Government, said that if the industry must upgrade and transform, improving productivity in all aspects is a key priority. The University of Labor has always responded to the pulse of industry. In order to help industries strengthen productivity, it has specially entrusted training schools to run special classes for industrial employees. It provides customized courses according to industry needs, and professional teachers proactively provide "on-site" services. Professionalism and convenience win The industry affirms that many companies have applied to open classes to facilitate employees to learn and recharge.

"This kind of course that is combined with the operational needs of the company will be of real help to employees!" CHMER Electric, the leader in electric discharge machining machines in Taiwan, said that CHMER's core major is electrical machinery, but some of its employees study electronics while others study electrical machinery. , the major in mechanics is weak. This is because most university courses are "technically specialized" and there are few double majors. Employees cannot study both electrical engineering and mechanics. They will inevitably encounter problems at work, and employees cannot go back to school to retake it. , the customized planning course characteristics of the special class for industrial employees allow the company to "prescribe the right medicine" to strengthen employees' mechanical majors, and truly achieve the benefits of helping enterprises train manpower.

The schools hosting industrial classes this year include National Chung Hsing University, Shuping University of Science and Technology, Qiaoguang University of Science and Technology, and Jingyi University. CHMER Electric Motors was entrusted to Xiuping University of Science and Technology to undertake the training. In order to truly understand the operational needs of CHMER, Shuping held many discussions and communications with the manufacturer. It was decided to plan ten units with a total of 60 hours of courses focusing on the three major areas of structural design, mechanical analysis and milling machine processing. Wang Chenpeng, Vice President of CHMER's Production Technology Department, said that during the 6-hour charging time every Tuesday afternoon, most employees actively strive to switch classes to attend classes, so that classes originally scheduled for 15 people often have double the number of people, and the classroom is full.

Guo Wuzhang, a professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Xiuping University of Science and Technology, said that CHMER employees are motivated and have lively interactions in class. In addition to the teaching materials prepared by teachers, they are also brave enough to ask questions about problems they encounter at work, and even "extra request" to supplement unplanned teaching materials. Professor Guo said with a smile that CHMER employees regard the special class as a crash course. Everyone wants to use up the teacher's expertise in 60 hours, and they are very interested in learning. The teachers have to prepare lessons intensively before class, and they want to teach everything they have.

In addition to launching special classes for industrial employees, the Labor University also offers classes for public institutions to improve the resumption of work for employees on childcare leave. Director of Labor Huang Heting further pointed out that employees who apply for leave without pay due to childcare will stay for about 6 months to 2 years. There will inevitably be gaps when they return to work, and they must re-familiarize themselves with their work professions and skills. The company has reported that , limited by the cost of manpower training, it is difficult to provide on-the-job education courses for one or two people, and they often have to explore on their own, getting twice the result with half the effort, which becomes a problem for reinstated employees.
