In response to the Ministry of Education’s policy focus on promoting the practical application of technical and vocational education and strengthening industry linkages, and to deeply implement the educational philosophy of adaptive development, National Formosa University (NFU) will grandly host the “2025 Heroes of Skills X Awakening the Power of Technical Education – Technical & Vocational Experience Market” career exploration series on Friday, December 12, 2025, at its First Campus. Presented in an innovative “technical and vocational experience market” format, the event integrates resources from education, industry, and technology to create a cross-level career enlightenment journey for students.
This market places a strong emphasis on hands-on practice and experiential learning, breaking away from traditional knowledge-based instruction. The event’s most distinctive feature is the deep integration of education, industry, and technology. In addition to hands-on DIY experiences provided through NFU’s professional courses and collaborations with multiple senior high and vocational schools across Yunlin, Chiayi, and Changhua—allowing students to gain intuitive insights into various technical fields—the event also invites numerous well-known local enterprises to set up booths on campus. These include Fengyu Unmanned Boat, winner of the APICTA Awards FIRST RUNNER-UP Silver Award; the Formosa Plastics “Formosa Toy Base” Project; Haili Good Products Co., Ltd.; Red Panda Teaching Aids; and Huwei Little Taipei Egg Cake. Through industry practices spanning aquaculture, cultural and creative design, and food and beverage services, the event provides students with real-time industry perspectives and truly integrates learning with application.
In terms of hands-on activities, the market brings together a wide range of innovative practical projects. Students can personally experience the latest AI virtual host motion capture technology, operate laser engraving equipment and robotic arms, participate in exciting robot competitions, and assemble smart voice-controlled desk lamps from scratch—comprehensively challenging their skills in electronic circuits and intelligent manufacturing. At the same time, the event integrates technology with everyday aesthetics, including AI-generated image creative badge making, succulent plant arrangement, test-tube dried flower design, and tea tasting combined with tea-making knowledge, perfectly blending creativity with practice. In addition, through authentic sharing of learning and employment experiences by senior vocational students and professional technical courses offered by NFU, participants are effectively guided to discover their own potential.
Through this immersive career exploration model, NFU hopes to assist every participating student in developing a clearer and more suitable learning direction after fully engaging with diverse technologies and industry practices. Looking ahead, as a cradle for cultivating talent for key national industries, NFU will continue to devote itself to the innovation and advancement of technical and vocational education. In response to global industry trends, NFU plans to introduce distinctive aerospace industry–related content in its 2026 initiatives, closely aligning with national strategic industries. This effort aims to cultivate outstanding technical professionals with advanced practical capabilities for Taiwan’s future technological development, ensuring that every student can find the most suitable learning path and lay a solid foundation for becoming professionals equipped with “practical skills, innovative capability, and employability.”
