What:
In an effort to share our working-life experiences as young professionals, the San Diego Taiwanese-American Association (SDTAA) will be hosting a series of “career mentoring” seminars at our Taiwan Center starting in February 2008. Our goal is to help the next generation of young professionals get a head start by learning the path, risks and rewards of pursing “traditional careers.” For example, careers in law, medicine, engineering, business and education. Once a month, two professionals in each field will host a 1.5 hr. seminar at the Taiwan Center to introducing their educational path, daily work experience and their views on the industry’s long-term outlook. A networking session will be available at the end of the seminar.
Who:
While every Taiwan-Center member is invited to our seminars, our target audience is aspiring professional who is currently in high school or college (17 to 25 years old).

the father of democracy in Taiwan. Kagan also describes
in rich detail Lee’s struggle to reinvent Taiwan’s
