The Achievements of TEEP in 2024 

In the 2024, NKUHT successfully secured the Taiwan Experience Education Program (TEEP) and collaborated with the Transportation Management Division and Intelligent Transportation Center of the Kaohsiung City Transportation Bureau. Through this initiative, two outstanding international students were recruited to participate in training and internships.
NKUHT provided professional Mandarin language training to enhance the students' language skills, enabling them to better integrate into local culture and work environments. Meanwhile, the Transportation Management Division and Intelligent Transportation Center offered hands-on opportunities for the students, including organizing and analyzing smart transportation data, conducting cross-country case studies, and assisting with guided tours and other practical activities.
This program not only deepened the students' understanding of Taiwan's transportation industry but also brought diverse perspectives to the local tourism and smart transportation sectors. It showcased NKUHT's excellence in cultivating international talent and contributed to establishing Kaohsiung as a leading international city.
