TOKYO, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- transcosmos inc. is pleased to announce that the company has opened Chihlee Center, its second operations center in Taiwan to accommodate its growth in the market. Located in the Chihlee University of Technology (President: Ju-Long Chen), the center will offer contact center and e-commerce one-stop services for the Taiwan local market with 54 workstations. transcosmos Taiwan inc. (Headquarters: Taipei, Taiwan; General Manager: Charlene Lien; transcosmos Taiwan), the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, will run and manage the center.
Founded in September, 2016, transcosmos Taiwan has established its unique market position focusing on digital, with both strong sales skills in e-commerce and branding capabilities. Today, the company provides clients with diverse services including e-commerce one-stop services, digital marketing and contact centers. In October 2018, transcosmos opened Jiangzicui Center, its first contact center in Taiwan, which offers contact center services across a range of industries such as manufacturing, distribution and mail order. Now, to accommodate its growing contact center service business, transcosmos opened the Chihlee Center in Taiwan.
Chihlee Center is located in the Chihlee University of Technology, which is only 1.2 km away from the Jiangzicui Center. The proximity of the two center locations - about a five-minute ride either by car or bicycle - allows the centers to support each other in handling peak times and urgent cases by sharing agents, which ensures highly stable center operations more than before. On top of this, through the collaboration with the Chihlee University of Technology, the new center offers students an environment for them to have a part-time job within the university premises as well as job opportunities after graduation. With this industry-academia partnership, transcosmos will secure people efficiently and stably by hiring motivated, talented people.

Number of workstations: 54 (as of November 2023)

On November 30, transcosmos held a Chihlee Center opening ceremony inviting three management members of the Chihlee University of Technology including the President, Dr. Ju-Long Chen.
"With the aim of offering an innovative business education, the Chihlee University of Technology has always been developing novel educational models along with the evolution of business models and technologies," Dr. Ju-Long Chen, President of the Chihlee University of Technology said. "In addition, to build a base for industrial education, we also nurture professional talent equipped with competitive skills and capabilities in new businesses and technologies required for each industry, and offer various practical scenarios. This, coupled with our unique curriculum including internship programs, enables our students to access the job market seamlessly.
For example, we have internship programs partnering with e-commerce businesses such as PChome and Shopee, companies that utilize live streaming for their digital marketing activities. Also, we have not only opened new applied learning courses covering emerging topics such as drones, smart logistics and creative thinking, but we also collaborate with industries. Through this industry-academia partnership with related associations and other parties, we offer our students various practical learning opportunities such as operating drones, holding group drone exhibitions and logistics drone exhibitions, and more. Moreover, to embrace ubiquitous financial services in the future, we are creating a practical learning environment designed for Scenario Finance, a new financial service approach that proposes financial products that best fit the needs of customers based on their actions, and are actively taking part in developing talent for major financial institutions.
As part of our wide variety of initiatives, we will open the Chihlee Center together with transcosmos Taiwan. We have high expectations for the center to offer more internship and job opportunities for students."
