Tether, the largest company in the cryptocurrency industry, has announced new plans to strengthen blockchain and digital asset education in Taiwan. According to Tether, the company is partnering with Taipei Institute of Technology (also known as Taipei Tech) to develop a comprehensive educational program that will provide students with the skills and knowledge they need in this rapidly evolving field.
Training Program Details
The “Blockchain and Digital Assets” training program was initially launched at NTUT Business School, with over 110 students participating. The course quickly became popular, leading other universities to consider similar collaborations with Tether. The program covers a wide range of topics, including blockchain technology, digital assets, Bitcoin, and stablecoins, with a focus on providing both technical and business perspectives.
Through this partnership, Tether will leverage its expertise to advance academic programs and research initiatives. The curriculum builds on successful training materials developed for NTUT and is enriched with insights from industry experts. The program aims to prepare students for responsible and informed participation in the blockchain sector by covering the following key areas:
- Basic knowledge of blockchain and cryptocurrency: This is a comprehensive education on the basics of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
- Develop critical thinking: Develop the ability to analyze and evaluate the authenticity of cryptocurrency information.
- Risk Awareness and Investment Principles: Highlights the risks of cryptocurrency and promotes rational investment principles.
- Legal and regulatory training: Understand regulatory policies and the importance of compliance.
- Industry Insights and Career Outlook: Get industry perspectives directly from experts.
Support and Expansion
Over the past two years, Tether and local organizations have sponsored more than 30 students and professors to attend the prestigious Plan B summer school in Lugano. This year, Tether supported 15 additional students and faculty to participate in Plan B Business School. Selected professors will use their newfound knowledge to create customized course materials for the upcoming semester.
“Tether’s education initiative aligns perfectly with the university’s vision to provide students with the knowledge and skills to drive the adoption of digital assets in Taiwan,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “By focusing on comprehensive knowledge, Tether aims to partner with prestigious universities to empower the next generation of blockchain experts in the region.”
