In total, there are now 25 student associations and 54 student clubs at Wenzao. The student clubs are basically divided into 5
categories: academic, skill, service/synthesis, PE/entertainment, and others. Wenzao student clubs have received awards year after
year from the Work Committee of the Evaluation of National College Clubs. The notable achievements of the Torch-Light Club, ShareOur-Spirit Club, and Tzuchi Teenager Association of Wenzao Club are highly esteemed for promoting social services. In addition,beginning with academic year 2001, the College began organizing a Wenzao Festival. During the festival, teachers and students
demonstrate the results of their learning. Scores of activities take place, including graduation performances, designated topic

Internship and Employment Counseling
Foreign students may practice and apply what they have learned at school in the marketplace through many opportunities for oncampus and off-campus internships. Moreover, the Placement Section organizes off-campus internships during winter and summer
vacations on a regular basis in order to provide students with chances to get involved in the job market before they are graduated. In
addition, Wenzao cooperates in organizing an annual employment exhibition with the National Youth Commission every March or Aprilto help graduates search for job openings. We also arrange a variety of activities including résumé writing, techniques for interviews,
analyses of the trends in the workforce, and on-site job openings. All these services actively help both the enterprises and our students
reach a win-win working relationship.

Student Health Care & Accident Insurance
Once foreign students register in Wenzao, they may benefit from the insurance coverage of Wenzao Student Group that offers
insurance fees related to the accidental medical costs of injuries, outpatients, and inpatients. Furthermore, if foreign students who haveregistered in Wenzao wish to have more insurance coverage of non-accidental medical costs, they may pay an extra fee (aboutNT$604 or US$18 per month) to benefit from the National Health Insurance in Taiwan.
