本週三，AIT副處長柯傑民（Jeremy Cornforth）於全球合作暨訓練架構 (#GCTF)「以科技力建構韌性及加速落實永續發展目標」線上國際研討會開幕致詞中強調：「儘管台灣被拒於門外，無法有意義地參與世衛大會及許多其他國際組織，今天的活動將能凸顯台灣仍以許許多多方式分享專長、並運用其科技長才，幫助國際社會解決你我共同面對的種種挑戰。美國會持續致力協助擴大台灣的國際參與空間。」

AIT副處長柯傑民、外交部長吳釗燮、日本台灣交流協會台北事務所代表泉裕泰、美國駐聯合國副大使蒲杰夫（Jeffrey Prescott）及駐紐約台北經濟文化辦事處處長李光章於週三一同參加了全球合作暨訓練架構 (GCTF)「以科技力建構韌性及加速落實永續發展目標」線上國際研討會。自2015年全球合作暨訓練架構啟動以來，這是第一次聚焦探討科技如何能增強韌性並加快實現可持續發展目標的進程。

On Wednesday, AIT Deputy Director Jeremy Cornforth, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association Chief Representative Hiroyasu Izumi, Deputy to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Jeff Prescot and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York Director-General James Lee participated in a virtual Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) workshop titled “Building Resilience and Accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Through Technology.” Since the GCTF’s 2015 program launch, this is the first event to focus on how technology can bolster resilience and accelerate progress towards meeting the SDGs.

In his opening remarks, Deputy Director Cornforth said, “Although Taiwan is prevented from participating meaningfully in the World Health Assembly and many other international organizations, today’s event will highlight the many ways that Taiwan is sharing its expertise and using its technological prowess to help the international community solve shared challenges. The United States remains committed to expanding Taiwan’s international space.”

【#人才循環大聯盟計畫 x 國際實習機會】
AIT與台灣經濟部工業局於今年5月共同主持 #人才循環大聯盟 國際實習計畫，旨在推動美台之間年輕人才的交流。本計畫共吸引超過300名學生報名參加，最後有20位學生脫穎而出，贏得赴美參訪實習的機會。雖然由於疫情緣故，學生無法按照原訂計畫訪美，但AIT於9月3日特別邀請這群學生到AIT參加講座，讓他們進一步了解美國文化和國際事務，同時感受一下日後到美國的氛圍。AIT代理副處長蘇戴娜特(Diane Sovereign)別到場恭喜這20位優秀的學生。經濟組代理副組長博百戰(Patrick Boland)也與學生分享擔任外交官的有趣經驗，並說明了美國高等教育的優勢，鼓勵他們赴美留學。看到這群積極進取的台灣年輕人，讓我們對未來充滿期待！ #AITMissionSpeakerProgram

In May, over 300 students participated in the Talent Circulation Alliance Exchange Program, a joint collaboration between AIT and IDB, to win a chance to visit the United States. The Talent Circulation Alliance facilitates exchanges between young professionals in Taiwan and the United States. On September 3, the 20 winners who were unable to go to the United States due to COVID-19 visited AIT. Acting AIT Deputy Director Diane Sovereign congratulated the 20 recipients for being identified in the competitive selection process and Acting Deputy Economic Chief Patrick Boland shared his personal experiences as a diplomat and encouraged them to study abroad, highlighting the advantages of U.S. higher education. The audience was also given a tour of AIT, which helped prepare them to be engaged in international affairs. Taiwan youth, a bright future awaits! #AITMissionSpeakerProgram
