2015/05/07

In order to promote the finance industry's participation in charity, TDCC, under the guidance of the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), invited the joint-sponsorship of Taiwan Stock Exchange, Taiwan Futures Exchange, Joint Credit Information Center, Financial Information Service Co., Ltd., Taipei Exchange, Taiwan-CA Inc., and Taiwan Ratings to organize the "Financial Literacy Program for Youth" charity program. The opening ceremony held on May 7, 2015 was inaugurated by Chairman of FSC, Mr. Tseng Ming-Chung. This program aims to assist college students who come from financial vulnerable families to learn financial knowledge, obtain a certificate and get hired by the job market.

Chairman Mr. Tseng stated that one of the key aims of the FSC this year was to persuade enterprises to take up their social responsibilities. Under the leading of FSC, Mr. Tseng wishes incorporated foundations and the entire finance industry, TWSE-listed and TPEx-listed companies can support this policy. The launch of the "Financial Literacy program for Youth" is a new milestone for the financial companies’ implementation of corporate social responsibility.

The "Financial Literacy program for Youth" is scheduled to launch simultaneously at 10 core schools located in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Hualien in September 2015. Graduates who are interested in the finance field and fulfill the requirements will have the opportunity to become participants in the program.
