opportunities to extend and deepen his / her professional
skills and knowledge; sharpen a proactive and positive
approach to professional responsibilities; internalize serious
and responsible work values; adopt honest and forthright
work habits and pursue excellence in all tasks and
responsibilities. While ensuring employees stand at the top of
their respective professional fields, HTC also places great
importance on fostering a work environment that sufficiently
challenges employees and offers the opportunity for satisfying
career growth. Innovation and competitiveness at HTC
benefits greatly from its positive, forward-looking work
environment.
Personnel Recruitment
One of the goals of HTC's human resource strategy is to hire
and retain outstanding personnel. The company upholds the
principle of equal opportunity, and affirms the contribution that
employee diversity makes to company culture and the spirit of
innovation. In recruiting personnel, HTC employs an open
selection process based on ability, seeking the right person
for the position. It does not discriminate due to non-work
factors such as race, color, social status, language, religion,
political affiliation, place of family origin, sexual orientation,
marital status, appearance, physical or mental disabilities,
previous union membership, or against those whose status is
protected by government order. Through its industry-
education cooperation programs, student internship system,
and summer work-study program, HTC provides many
students with work-study opportunities, and actively
participates in recruitment and overseas job fair activities of
all types to recruit personnel with similar values and
aspirations from all over the world.

learning and professional growth. By encouraging employees
to improve themselves and to maintain and enhance
professional skills, HTC is sustaining its competitive
advantage while keeping a promise to help employees grow
as individuals. HTC maintains comprehensive training
