The 2027 New Taipei Model Worker Selection will be accepted immediately, and the recommendation qualifications for those who continue to work in the workplace will be relaxed

From now until November 9, the Labor Bureau of the New Taipei City Government will accept candidates recommended by labor unions at all levels, public institutions and other groups to participate in the 2027 model labor selection. They are divided into four major groups: "Enterprise/Industrial Labor Group", "Occupational Labor Group", "Union Leaders Group" and "Union Affairs Staff Group". In the past, those who "re-employed after receiving labor insurance old-age benefits" were unable to participate in the selection due to interruption of insurance years. This time, the recommendation qualifications are also relaxed.

The Labor Bureau pointed out that in order to encourage workers to have the courage to break occupational gender stereotypes, in addition to the recommended places, each group will add one recommended place. For example, Li Yunhao, who won this year, serves as the driver of Taipei Passenger Transport, and Zheng Xiuhui is the driver of the Environmental Protection Bureau's cleaning team. They shuttle through the streets and alleys every day to serve the public, and are truly "female power."

In addition, in order to improve the chances of indigenous people participating in the selection, each group has also added two more recommended places. For example, Xie Yuko from the Seediq ethnic group works as an engineer at the Sanyo Refrigerator Factory. She works hard to enable the people to use high-quality electrical appliances. A total of 150 model workers will be selected this time and will be publicly commended before next year's Labor Day. The selected candidates will have the opportunity to represent New Taipei City in the national model worker selection and strive for higher honors.

Current workers who have the nationality of the Republic of China and have actually been engaged in various industries in New Taipei City for four consecutive years can participate through the recommendation of various industry unions or public institutions. In order to make the recommendation quota more diverse and representative of the industry, including the New Taipei City Industrial Association, the Chamber of Commerce, the Industrial Zone Manufacturers Association of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the New Taipei City Manufacturers Promotion Association, etc., can participate in the recommendation.

In addition, those who re-employ after receiving the labor insurance old-age benefits must re-engage and participate in the labor occupational accident insurance within 7 days after claiming the labor insurance old-age benefits. The combined seniority of the previous and subsequent years can also be recommended if the combined years are 4 years.
