IPC COMMUNITY 95 WINTER 2025 industry companies, there is an urgent need for professionals with knowledge of IPC standards and practical skills in electron- ics. However, the reality is that most academic courses are dis- connected from the actual needs of the industry, leading to disap- pointing results when companies recruit from universities and schools. So, how can the talent devel- opment systems in universities and schools seamlessly align with enterprise needs to quickly unblock these bottle- necks? In response to these needs, IPC Asia launched the IPC Asia Talent Development Program in 2020 with three core projects: the Internship Program, the Stu- dent Training Program, and the Academic Partner Program. This overall initiative has aimed to bridge the gap between educa- tion and industry by providing systematic training and practical opportunities that help students and young professionals master the core knowledge and skills of IPC standards. Through close col- laboration with major enterprises and academic institutions, IPC Asia has successfully cultivated a number of highly skilled pro- fessionals who are meeting the industry's development needs and laying a solid and sustainable foundation. Exploring Through Collaboration The IPC Asia Talent Develop- ment Program has collaborated with more 20 educational insti- tutions in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, with over 1,000 participants. Student Training Program The Student Training Program has attracted more than 400 students from nearly 20 univer- sities. To ensure that the training content is both cutting-edge and practical, IPC Asia invited several university professors and industry experts to give lectures that present typical industry case studies. Through seminars The IPC Taiwan team conducted IPC-A-610 guided instruction at Ming Chi University of Technology. A workshop on IPC standards took place at Saigon University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
