“Seed of Life Education” focuses on helping disadvantaged youth to find the bright side of life and strengthen themselves. In order to help indigenous children and disadvantaged youth realize the meaning of life, UMC started Life Education volunteer training class for employees and their families. They visit remote areas and have summer camps to tutor and take care of children.

Moreover, UMC Love Storyteller Club achieved similar goals through different media including stage plays. In particular, club members spend their free time during workdays to rehearse and ensure the stage is set up properly. This is also a form of life education for themselves and their family members. Moreover, their activities may inspire these children to dream and try to make those dreams come true someday.

To fulfill the ideal of promoting semiconductor research and technical development, and strengthening UMC global competitiveness by providing the corporation with a source of outstanding and quality talents, UMC is committed to maintaining forward-looking collegiate relationships. In 2018, UMC focused on 2 major orientations in its collegiate relationships :

1. Positioning outstanding R&D talents
2. In-depth development of talents from technical colleges. In addition, university-industry collaboration and prospective talent programs are two major directions of development.

UMC continued to strengthen business-education partnerships in 2018. In addition to existing practical programs for semiconductor technologies in key institutions, Collaboration Project was also implemented to sponsor full-time instructors for the MS Degree Program and Credit Courses on Nano-Integrated Circuit Engineering offered by National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). Business-education partnerships were also restructured in 2018 to establish the UMC Industry-Academia Program. A series of brand image development activities such as paper discussions, career sharing, practical collaborations, and exhibits of semiconductor products were scheduled, with more than 3,500 individuals participating in paper discussions in 2018. These measures enhanced the academia’s support and recognition of UMC and gave a comprehensive demonstration of a successful business-education partnership.

In terms of campus talent cultivation, the Prospective Talent Program (PTP) has been expanded to increase the cultivation of talent on campuses. Since 2013, a total of 4,140 candidates have been recruited, of which 1,934 are still in school. In 2018, Advanced Intelligent Elite Development Program (AIED) has been launched, and 1,149 students has participated this program.

Through a series of activities and courses, close interaction is maintained with prospective collegiate talent to promote their identification with UMC. By establishing a close relationship and pre-appointments, the program effectively connects UMC with target students. At the same time, the PTP also effectively markets the corporate image of UMC and exerts considerable influence on campuses and communities, thereby ensuring future R&D prospects for UMC in advance.
