currently I’m a overseas Chinese student from Indonesia under industry–education cooperation program. Right now I’m already in my 3rd year, and I’ll be graduated from senior high school soon and continue to university. Actually, I’ve a bachelor degree from Xiamen University Malaysia, and I studied the senior high school from the scratch because I followed my mother’s friend’s advice that Mainland China’s degree can’t be used directly for applying graduate school in Taiwan. At that time, my Mandarin also still sucks so I couldn’t directly go for graduate school.
Previously, I think this program is not bad because I can learn some practical skills and opportunity to learn Mandarin, at the same time also can get a salary. Sadly, after I’m undergoing this program I feel that I’m not suitable for this program because most of the companies cooperating with this program are factories, and most of jobs available are manual labors, and I’m being fired twice from the factories. But my Mandarin improves a lot: only a year I can get TOCFL B1 (from N/A~A1). To be honest my main motivation come to Taiwan is for the language learning. I’m really passionate about learning languages here. I’m using news and other live materials to learn Mandarin.
I love Taiwan and its people, and I wish I can stay here longer (using APRC, or even naturalization). But this program really limits my potential.
My question is, is there available any other opportunity to work and stay in Taiwan under other ID card, or any other suggestions? I’m already asked that I can’t re-enter Taiwan under study scheme, and I need to wait till 6 years to re-enter Taiwan for study (even only for language school). One scheme that comes to my mind is using blue-collar migrant worker scheme, but for dormitory management position, so at least my ability in Mandarin will be used
