SUBSIDIES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS STARTING BUSINESSES|高中畢先就業 三年補助36萬.有助特定科系

The Executive Yuan has passed a program that encourages vocational students to enter the job market right after graduation by providing a maximum student subsidy of NT$360,000 over the course of three years, but some worry that the program will only benefit students in certain trades. Kuo Pei-jung is washing her classmate's hair in the school's internship factory. Her delicate technique is a result of daily practice since her first year. ==KUO PEI-JUNG, Yu Da High School of Commerce and Home Economics == It's a professional skill that also helps put food on the table. Kuo wants to go straight into the job market after graduation to help alleviate her family's financial burden. After knowing that the government is planning on providing a three-year subsidy of NT$360,000 for young graduates starting next year, she has decided to apply for it. ==KUO PEI-JUNG, Student, Yu Da High School of Commerce and Home Economics== I can save the money to start my own hair salon in the future or use the money to pay for college instead of applying for a student loan. ==LIN, Student, Yu Da High School of Commerce and Home Economics == With the help of this program, we'll be able to get in touch with the job market earlier than those without the help of this program. The subsidies can be used for their future business or future education. The principal said that the program can only create incentives for students in vocational schools. ==LIU YU-JEN, Principal, Yu Da High School of Commerce and Home Economics== There will be incentives for students from departments of food and beverage management, tourism, and fashion and models because the demands for students of other departments may not be that high. ==CHANG CHUN-HO, HR Director, Mentor Hair == In Germany, the government and the society value each and every industry. The similar program in Germany can be applied to all sectors. The problem in Taiwan is that the society values formal education more. Schools and industries believe that the policy might help shift vocational students' focus from entering universities. However, only 5,000 students can be accepted by the program in the first three years. How the program selects qualified students will soon become a matter of concern.
