Establishment of Office Talent Pool

Cathay Internship Program (CIP)
Since 2005, we have implemented the Cathay Internship Program (CIP) to recruit quality talents ahead of time and improve Cathay Life’s corporate image and their identification with Cathay Life. This program provides students with internship opportunities at enterprises during summer vacations to establish connections ahead of time. Since 2021, the internship program has adopted hybrid working, and helped CIP interns better understand their career directions through various online courses and unit resources.
Cathay Agile Program (CAP)
Since 2018, Cathay Life has initiated the Cathay Agile Program (CAP) to cultivate students into digital technology talents. Centered on the agile project, students and our office staff conduct agile collaborations to spark more creative ideas.
Cathay Investment Manager (CIM)
Since 2016, Cathay Life has launched the Cathay Investment Manager (CIM) Project to cultivate well-rounded investment planning talent highly sensitive to investment opportunities. It develops professional knowledge of the stock market, foreign exchange, bonds, risk management and financial accounting through a year of rotational appointments among investment, transaction and planning departments.
“IT’s Time” recruitment project
Financial innovation and practice rely on quality IT talents. Cathay Group has established the “IT’s Time” recruitment project since 2017. By organizing recruitment events targeting IT talents, we implement the project via speedy document reviews, one-day interviews, and quick job-vacancy matching, while providing open and transparent recruitment information to recruit talents.
Career Diary
To familiarize more students with the workplace, Cathay Life and City Wanderer have been continually organizing the Career Diary Challenge since 2017. Through interviews, experience sessions, and various other missions, participants can quickly improve their understanding of job careers.
