Effectiveness of the talent cultivation training program for industry transformation in Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Taiwanese tourism and hospitality industry, the Taiwanese government launched an industry revival and revitalization project. Subsidies were given for cultivating talent and industry transformation. The industry implemented talent cultivation courses to improve the skills and knowledge of workers and facilitate financial subsidization. This study reviewed the talent cultivation subsidy and training results for employees participating in training programs within Taiwan’s lodging industry. The results showed that the government promoted large-scale industry transformation and talent cultivation, and industry employees who received the training responded to it positively.
