iPAS Certification Enables Private University Graduates to Match Starting Salaries of National University Peers. (2017)

The iPAS (Industry Professional Assessment System) certification, administered by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, effectively helps graduates from private universities bridge the gap between academic training and workplace requirements, serving as a key indicator for employers when prioritizing job candidates. At Jinwen University of Science and Technology, for instance, students are guided to obtain iPAS certifications; those who earn the credential secure starting salaries on par with—or even NT$2,000 higher than—those of graduates from national universities. Furthermore, these certified graduates adapt to their professional roles 4 to 6 months faster than the average new hire, successfully achieving a seamless transition from academia to industry.
