Industry-University Integration to Cover the First Mile in Employment
The GOLF（Gap of Learning & Field） Program was launched by AUO and partner enterprises to bridge the gap between university education and industry expertise. Internship training programs were launched at 12 universities in December, 2017, in the hopes that a combination of advance professional online courses and offline business internships and visits will encourage students to connect with the industry through industry-university cooperation and live up to the spirit of putting theory into practice.
The GOLF Program has now attracted a number of business and school partners. The extensive training and internship resources of these companies are used to provide over a hundred e-learning courses and more than 570 internship places. By connecting university education with the abilities in demand with the industry, we hope that the power of businesses and schools will inspire other fields to join in the endeavor. This will in turn pioneer an innovative model for bilateral connection between industry and universities for resource sharing.
