| 一、台德菁英計畫獲認同 賓士汽車投資職訓中心 |
行政院勞委會與教育部、德國經濟辦事處合作推動的「台德精英計劃」今年邁入第四年,漸獲產學界認同,台灣戴姆勒克萊斯勒(賓士汽車)特別投資新台幣二千萬元設立職訓中心,從德國引進設備,勞委會主委李應元今天也應邀為職訓中心剪綵。
勞委會職訓局調查發現,台灣失業族群中,青少年失業率居各年齡層之首,以今年一到七月為例,青少年平均失業率達百分之十點零一。
為促進青少年就業及提升人力素質、落實技職教育及職業訓練合流,勞委會從二00三年起,與教育部、德國經濟辦事處合作推動「職業訓練與職業教育菁英計畫」(簡稱台德菁英計畫),特引進德國「雙軌制」( Dual System )訓練模式,三年為一培訓期,包含每週二天學科理論教育、每週三天工作實務訓練。
勞委會說,「台德菁英計畫」第一屆畢業訓練生,共有二百四十八位訓練生完成三年的工作訓練及學科教育,就業率為百分之八十一點四五,打破畢業即是失業的說法。
台德菁英計劃開設的課程已從二專課程,向下延伸至高職,向上擴展至二技;合作的單位也從最初的十家合作學校與三十六家事業單位,擴增為二十五家合作學校與一百零八家事業單位,其中不乏知名企業,例如 : 台灣戴姆勒克萊斯勒、福朋喜來登飯店、台中金典酒店、中華機械、和大工業、宏達電子、統一超商等;合作的學校有北台灣科學技術學院、德霖技術學院、國立台中技術學院、國立勤益技術學院、南亞技術學院等。
值得一提的是,接受台德菁英計劃訓練的學生,在受訓期滿通過學校以及德國方面測驗後,除取得學校文憑外,德國工商總會也會頒發專業認證,可獲包括德國等歐盟或全球共有八十八個國家採認,在現今國際化的趨勢中,台德菁英計劃此證照可被視為具國際水準技能的憑證。 (中央社記者汪淑芬台北三日電)

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter. |

There dwelt a bear, also a boar.
The bear could not bear the boar.
The boar thought the bear a bore.
At last the bear could bear no more
Of that boar that bored him on the
moor,
And so one morn he bored the boar--
That boar will bore the bear no more.
