NCUE is one of the three normal universities in Taiwan and an important training school for junior high school teachers in the central region to continue their education. In addition, to assist in the cultivation of talents in Changhua County, NCUE plans many promotional education courses related to vocational training.

1. Regular vocational training courses 

1.1 Vocational training for high school teachers: In line with the needs of the Ministry of Education and secondary school teachers for continuous learning, NCUE holds second expertise and enhancement classes every year to assist in-service teachers of different disciplines in acquiring new teaching knowledge and improving their professional teaching capabilities. In 2021, although Taiwan faced a serious outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, NCUE delivered classes both on campus and online. Some courses were broadcasted live for teachers who could not attend in person, so that everyone who wished to continue their studies could receive complete training.
In 2021, 67 courses were offered in diverse fields such as Hokkien language, information technology, living technology, bilingual teaching, and mathematics and physics education, with 3,168 training hours and 1,420 participants.

1.3 Cultivating industrial and commercial talents in Changhua County:
NCUE is located in Changhua County. To assist the enterprises in the county in cultivating talents, so that they can keep up with the new trends and operate sustainably, NCUE cooperated with the Changhua County Government and private enterprises and groups to organize the “Young Boss Academy - Training Course for Second-Generation Enterprise Elites” and the “Women’s Academy - Female Leader Training Course” in 2016, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Each course lasted 54 hours and trained second-generation successors and female leaders for small and medium-sized enterprises in Changhua County. They learned about management, innovative management, digital marketing, communication, and negotiation. Moreover, in response to the needs of the information age, topics such as artificial intelligence innovation and application, and big data analysis and application, were included. In total, 226 students graduated.
1.4 Cultivating industrial and commercial talents in Changhua County: E-Commerce Academy - E-Commerce Talent Training Course
In 2021, the world was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which rapidly changed the way of consumption. Many industries and brick-and-mortar stores were hit hard. As many small and medium-sized enterprises in Changhua County lack the knowledge and talents for digital transformation, NCUE cooperated with the Changhua County Government to offer a 60-hour “E-Commerce Academy - E-Commerce Talent Training Course” to help enterprises understand the e-commerce business model. A total of 32 students graduated.
