Abstract |
The digital content industry has emerged as an important part of the knowledge economy. While designating the digital content industry as one of the two flagship industries for its future, the Taiwanese government is also building a Digital Content Institute (DCI) to coordinate the effort of ensuring the availability of a highly versatile and multi-talented workforce that is crucial for the industry to succeed. The DCI, not designed as a regular educational institution, is under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and is responsible for producing enough skilled manpower to expedite the development of the industry.This paper reports a study of the current status of the human resource development of the digital content industry in Taiwan. The research is base on in-depth interviews of the leading companies in Taiwan to investigate on the human resource structure, job requirements and urgency, talent levels, core competencies, as well as recruitments and training methods in different sectors of the digital content industry. The findings were summarized and human resource development strategy was laid out and presented to DCI for their reference.
