Citibank Taiwan Ltd (花旗台灣) welcomes all students currently in their third year of college, or first year of their master’s program, who are exceptionally passionate or harbor solid ambitions for the financial sector, to tender their applications for Citibank Taiwan’s 2023 summertime internship program at oncampus.citi.com before Nov. 20, the bank said in a press release on Tuesday.
As a global financial institute, Citibank has always been committed to fostering talent and has over the years continued to invest more into its international professional talent development program.
Citigroup Inc is expecting to launch a series of internship programs in all markets globally next year, and Citibank Taiwan is looking to recruit between 10 and 20 financial department interns over the summer period.

The bank has to date held two on-campus recruitment drives and will also be holding an online recruitment drive, allowing those interested in a career in the financial sector to have a direct face-to-face with Citibank Taiwan’s management team and better understand how the company functions, as well as what training programs are in place.
Summer internship programs have long been one of the primary sources of Citigroup’s reserve pool for management. At Citi, interns will be able to see, first-hand, how an international bank works and in so doing, obtain the opportunity to learn additional skill sets.
Citigroup provides extensive professional training, alongside plenty of chances to meet high-level management at the bank, supporting the future growth and development of those who decide to intern with the group.
Over the past few years, half of all interns that performed with excellence during their internship were allowed to work directly for the bank as management trainees upon the conclusion of their internship. This means that they have been given a chance to work at one of the top-notch banks in the world one year before their graduation.
Management trainees at Citigroup will not only be afforded the opportunity to work in different departments, but they will also have the chance to participate in the group’s international talent-fostering programs.
For example, Citigroup in July arranged for management trainees to visit Citigroup headquarters in New York and stay in the city for several weeks of intensive training, learning how to work with an international team and be more receptive to different values and opinions.
In addition, more and more management trainees have departed to work abroad in Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, India and other countries after the conclusion of their training, allowing them to experience the work environment overseas and become well-rounded international finance workers.
Citigroup’s internship program was introduced in Taiwan in 1977, including a comprehensive management trainee fostering program that has been responsible for the training of countless talented financial individuals, including Citibank Taiwan chairman Paulus Mok (莫兆鴻) and president Christie Chang (張聖心), both of whom have started to work at Citigroup via the internship program.
To encourage more people to apply amid growing need for cross-field financial talent, Citibank Taiwan’s 2023 summer internship program will not be limited to students from finance or business management programs, and is opening its arms to embrace a more diverse crowd of applicants.
A proposed 100 percent tariff on chip imports announced by US President Donald Trump could shift more of Taiwan’s semiconductor production overseas, a Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER) researcher said yesterday. Trump’s tariff policy will accelerate the global semiconductor industry’s pace to establish roots in the US, leading to higher supply chain costs and ultimately raising prices of consumer electronics and creating uncertainty for future market demand, Arisa Liu (劉佩真) at the institute’s Taiwan Industry Economics Database said in a telephone interview. Trump’s move signals his intention to "restore the glory of the US semiconductor industry," Liu noted, saying that
On Ireland’s blustery western seaboard, researchers are gleefully flying giant kites — not for fun, but in the hope of generating renewable electricity and sparking a “revolution” in wind energy. “We use a kite to capture the wind and a generator at the bottom of it that captures the power,” said Padraic Doherty of Kitepower, the Dutch firm behind the venture. At its test site in operation since September 2023 near the small town of Bangor Erris, the team transports the vast 60-square-meter kite from a hangar across the lunar-like bogland to a generator. The kite is then attached by a
Foxconn Technology Co (鴻準精密), a metal casing supplier owned by Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), yesterday announced plans to invest US$1 billion in the US over the next decade as part of its business transformation strategy.

The strategy would have a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), the company added. The company said it aims to build a flexible, intelligent production ecosystem to boost competitiveness and sustainability. Foxconn
Leading Taiwanese bicycle brands Giant Manufacturing Co (巨大機械) and Merida Industry Co (美利達工業) on Sunday said that they have adopted measures to mitigate the impact of the tariff policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration. The US announced at the beginning of this month that it would impose a 20 percent tariff on imported goods made in Taiwan, effective on Thursday last week. The tariff would be added to other pre-existing most-favored-nation duties and industry-specific trade remedy levy, which would bring the overall tariff on Taiwan-made bicycles to between 25.5 percent and 31 percent. However, Giant did not seem too perturbed by the
