    Diversified Self-Directed Learning Platform

    To cultivate top-tier IC design talent, MediaTek is dedicated to foster a self-directed learning environment and building a learning organization. In the past, our internal online learning platforms relied on external consultants for course development or individual departments to train their own instructors. However, this approach could not keep pace with our rapid growth and product transformation, nor did it meet the learning preferences of the new generation of employees. Therefore, we partnered with renowned websites in Taiwan and globally for small-scale trials. After receiving excellent user experience and feedback from our engineers, we officially launched and adopted various self-directed learning platforms in 2024, to provide employees with diverse learning and development resources.

    Diverse Learning

    Recognizing that employees across different units have unique business needs and career development goals, we have integrated diverse learning platforms to cater to their varied requirements. These platforms include Hahow, CommonWealth Leader Campus, Udemy, and Rosetta Stone, covering learning topics such as leadership and management, AI technology, languages, and general education courses.

    Personalization

    Valuing individual learning preferences and needs, employees can now set their learning goals and progress at their own pace and preferred times. This revolutionary approach departs from traditional classroom settings where learners must cooperate with the instructor’s and class’s pace. Furthermore, employees can adjust video playback speeds based on their proficiency, allowing them to absorb course content at their most efficient and suitable pace.

    Habit Formation

    To maximize the effectiveness of learning resources and develop self-learning habits, employees must meet a minimum monthly viewing time to retain their learning accounts. This encourages continuous self-directed learning and fosters a pervasive learning atmosphere.

    Implementation outcome

    • Over 6,000 employees engaged in self-directed learning on platforms like Hahow, CommonWealth Leader Campus, and Udemy, accumulating over 21,000 self-directed learning hours. Notably, MediaTek’s average monthly learning hours on Udemy exceeded nine hours per employee, which is 1.8 times more than Udemy’s global average of five hours.

    • We also specially organized MediaTeker to MediaTeker (M2M) knowledge-sharing events, to teach and encourage employees to share new knowledge gained from self-directed learning platforms in a structured manner. To date, 47 employees have selflessly shared their insights, with over 5,700 ones engaging in learning on the platforms, thus successfully fostering a vibrant self-directed learning culture at MediaTek.

    Cultivating Coaching Skills in Top Managers

    We have adopted Group Coaching for selected senior managers to help them address management challenges, enhance coaching skills, and develop diverse leadership styles. This initiative not only strengthens individual management capabilities but also builds a coaching culture within the organization, ultimately boosting employee capabilities and contributing to the Company’s growth. In 2024, nearly 60 senior executives participated in group training, which created a positive impact within their teams.

    Channels for Internal Job Application

    In 2019, MediaTek formally initiated internal job application mechanism. By opening the channel for job transfer, all group-wide employees are provided with more a diverse development opportunity, which strengthens the width and depth of career development, enables employees to go to the positions they want, and promotes dynamic internal talent mobility. In 2024, 127 employees applied, bringing the cumulative total to over 230 individuals since 2019. Most of the successful applicants complete their internal transfers within three months since application.
