CSBC Corporation, Taiwan (TWSE: 2208, hereinafter "CSBC") announced that its subsidiary, CSBC-DEME Wind Engineering Co., Ltd. (CDWE), has joined the National Taiwan University's (NTU) International Mentorship Program as part of its ongoing commitment to talent development and cultivation.

By participating in NTU's International Mentorship Program and welcoming international interns, CDWE is putting its global talent strategy into practice. Offshore wind engineering is inherently a highly international industry that relies on close cross-border collaboration. From engineering design and procurement to construction and installation, every stage of a project requires seamless coordination with technical partners and supply chain stakeholders across Europe, Asia, and other regions around the world.

CDWE recognizes that sustaining a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving global offshore wind market depends on cultivating professionals who possess strong cross-cultural communication skills and can thrive in multilingual working environments. Through collaboration with interns from diverse international backgrounds, CDWE not only provides young talent to Taiwan's maritime engineering industry, but also brings fresh perspectives and global insights into the company. This initiative creates a win-win outcome by advancing both talent development and the company's long-term growth.

The NTU International Mentorship Program is dedicated to helping international students connect with Taiwan's industries through a structured mentorship and internship framework, complemented by executive-level mentoring. The program aims to cultivate a new generation of professionals equipped with both cross-cultural perspectives and practical international industry experience.

As part of the program, a workshop themed "Cross-Cultural Workplace Communication and Professional Presence" brought together representatives from industry, government, and academia. Javier Magro, Chief Executive Officer of CDWE, was invited to join the panel and share insights from his international career in the offshore wind sector. Together with fellow speakers, he offered participants first-hand perspectives on building international careers.

The workshop was marked by the enthusiasm, curiosity, and openness to innovation demonstrated by the younger generation, qualities that represent the driving force needed to support the continued growth of Taiwan's offshore wind industry.

As a company committed to integrating Taiwan's maritime engineering capabilities with international technical standards, CDWE has long recognized that the industry's continued growth depends on professionals who can work effectively across languages, cultures, and international markets. Its collaboration with NTU reflects this enduring commitment to talent development and global engagement.
