• About Us

    On Feb 17th, 2014, Executive Yuan of the Council of Labor Affairs was upgraded to the Ministry of Labor. Consequently, the Bureau of Employment and Vocational Training was restructured as the Workforce Development Agency (WDA), under the Ministry of Labor, Executive Yuan.
    Based upon the guidelines of the "workforce development promotion", WDA sets the national workforce development in three aspects, including "modify the talent cultivation mechanism to excel the industrial talent structure", "strengthen talent training systems to promote competency update", and "tap overseas talent to make international connections".
    Through planning policies on "workforce development", our nation's economic development and competitiveness are improved to cater to the labor market in the world.

    Workforce Development Innovation Center (WDIC) as an organization under WDA is in charge of workforce innovation issues to cater to the policies and changing economic environment. Based on the core values of innovation, professionalism, and effectiveness, WDIC expects to benefit domestic industries and upgrade talent. To promote cooperation of government and NGOs in social economy development and social enterprises, WDIC applies for programs like the Multi-Employment Promotion Program (MEPP) and Empowerment Employment Program (EEP) combining loans for entrepreneurs and subsidies for business innovation to support social enterprises and incubation of Social Innovative Organizations and talents and to create more employment opportunities.
