The government is promoting the "Program for Immigrant Workers Retention and Long-term Employment" to solve the problem that skilled immigrant workers in the industry are limited by the 12-year working period and cannot stay in Taiwan to continue serving. The program provides half of the additional employment stability fee for migrant workers, or a 1-on-1 incremental employment discount for migrant workers. In order to cooperate with the government policy and combine the majors of the department, STUST tailor-made the "Immigrant Workers Promotion Education Credit Class" and "Immigrant Workers On-the-job Training Special Class" for the manufacturing industry. The advanced education credit class for migrant workers can obtain a high school diploma, and the four-skilled on-the-job special class for migrant workers with a high school diploma can obtain a bachelor's degree, so as to assist enterprises in adding value to manpower and improving school students.

President Cheng-wen Wu of STUST said that under the trend of declining birth rate and aging population, the shortage of manpower will lead to problems, such as a decrease in the number of school students, insufficient supply of industrial labor, and difficulties in the development of key national industries.
