In July 2023, the Education Department of New Taipei City Government held a student camp for the second-generation Vietnamese immigrants. Twenty college, high school and vocational school students from immigrant families were chosen to participate in a collaborative program that incorporated efforts from the industry, government and academia. The students flew to Vietnam. While exploring their culture, they took part in activities that featured fashion textile and visited international corporations, including FENC.

FENC’s garment plants in Vietnam produce sports apparel for major international brands. The plants have been actively incorporating automated production, logistics and warehousing systems to enhance the operational and management performance. FEAV showed its support for the government by welcoming the visiting students with a demonstration of the production process and a tour through the plant. The experience helped students gain insights into the future trends for international corporations in Southeast Asia, and acquire practical corporate experience and competitiveness essential for their future careers.

Since 2016, FEIS – Petrochemical Business has been offering cognitive apprenticeship programs to students from the School of Resource and Environmental Engineering of East China University of Science and Technology. The junior students joined the program on site with staff from the Environmental Safety and Technology Departments, who explained wastewater treatment theories and facilities. The Utilities Department then demonstrated wastewater treatment on site to the students and faculty along with various operational procedures. The visit combines theories and field practices, helping students develop a more intuitive understanding towards wastewater treatment.

Hukou Mill also received 76 students and faculty members from the College of Fashion and Textiles of Fu-Jen Catholic University on May 10, 2023. The staff illustrated the production process as well as the products, and followed up with a tour of the plant to demonstrate the production techniques, helping students comprehend the complex subjects.
