The Labor Bureau of the New Taipei City Government will accept candidates recommended by labor unions and public institutions at all levels to participate in the 2027 model labor selection from now until November 9. The labor bureau is divided into four major groups: enterprise/industrial labor group, professional labor group, union leaders group and union affairs staff group. In order to encourage the breaking of occupational gender stereotypes and improve the opportunities for indigenous peoples to participate in the labor force, each group will increase the number of recommended places. If those who re-employed after receiving the labor insurance old-age benefits and participated in the labor accident insurance within 7 days after receiving the labor insurance benefits, they can also participate in the recommendation if their combined seniority is 4 years. Current workers who have the nationality of the Republic of China and have been actually engaged in various industries in New Taipei City for four consecutive years can participate through the recommendation of labor unions or public institutions. This time, 150 model workers will be selected and publicly commended before Labor Day next year. Those selected will have the opportunity to represent New Taipei City in the national model worker selection.
