Talent Development

Talent Development

To enhance industry innovation and capability, Acter actively recruits, cultivates, and retains high-caliber professionals. We provide comprehensive and diversified training programs—including in-person sessions, online courses, and external development opportunities—to offer a wide range of learning resources. These efforts aim to boost organizational productivity and innovation, thereby supporting the Company’s steady and sustainable growth.

Talent Cultivation Program
 

To advance towards the corporate vision of “innovation and sustainability”, Acter has established essential management functions across all levels of supervision and defined core and professional competency requirements for general employees. In addition to compulsory courses aimed at enhancing work efficiency, our employees have the opportunity to enroll in various elective courses tailored to their individual needs and future career development plans. These initiatives prepare them effectively for their next career stages. Annually, in the fourth quarter (Q4), the Company conducts training needs assessments. Based on the results, we then design development programs aligned with the occupational requirements of supervisors and employees, thereby achieving objectives such as preserving corporate culture, enhancing managerial capabilities among supervisors, and nurturing talent within the organization.At Acter, education and training extend beyond classroom lectures or course promotion. Through the integration and application of corporate resources, we aim to provide employees with a comprehensive learning environment.
