To ensure a stable power supply, Taipower has established training centers in northern, central, and southern Taiwan to cultivate power industry professionals. Among them, the Kaohsiung Training Center, which is known as the "Cradle of Repair Heroes", received the National Talent Development Award, Taiwan’s highest honor in the field of human resources, for the first time in 2021. Yesterday (November 27), Taipower's "Training Base for Power Plant Guardians"—Linkou Training Center (LTC)—earned this prestigious award for the second time. A Taipower representative stated that LTC has been operational for over 30 years, and has trained more than 100,000 power industry elites who now serve in key positions of mechanical, instrumentation and control (I&C), and electrical equipment maintenance at power plants nationwide. Moving forward, LTC will continuously enhance its programs to nurture more essential talent for the nation.

Since its establishment in 1993, LTC has specialized in cultivating professionals for the maintenance and servicing of mechanical, I&C, electrical, and repair equipment for power plant generation units nationwide. It features instructors with niche expertise and is home to national training and examination facilities for these specialized fields. Currently, LTC provides training and certification for over 50 Taipower technical licenses and offers 8 national skill certification programs across 9 levels. Over the past 31 years, LTC has trained more than 100,000 individuals. Internationally recognized for its power industry expertise, LTC has also extended its services to train power plant personnel from countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Guam, and Eswatini, earning its reputation as the "Training Base for Power Plant Guardians".

A Taipower representative explained that LTC envisions becoming a "Certification Institution for Power Technology Professionals". In addition to receiving this recent award, LTC has also earned dual certifications for training quality: ISO 9001 and the TTQS Talent Development Quality Management System Gold Medal. In response to the trends and demands of digital development, LTC has actively updated its training and certification hardware and teaching facilities in recent years. New additions include mixed reality (MR) training for electric shock prevention and virtual reality (VR) training scenarios for emergency rescue and escape from onshore wind turbines. In the future, LTC will continue to integrate innovative technologies to enhance the training of power industry professionals, thereby ensuring the stable and safe operation of the nation's power plants.
