Tether Teams Up with National Taipei University of Technology to Enhance Blockchain and Digital Asset Education, Equipping Students with Vital Skills

Tether, a dominant force in the cryptocurrency industry, has embarked on a pioneering initiative to bolster blockchain and digital asset education in Taiwan. In collaboration with the National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT), also known as Taipei Tech, Tether aims to develop comprehensive educational programs designed to arm students with essential skills and knowledge in this rapidly advancing field.

The “Blockchain & Digital Asset” education program, initially launched at NTUT's College of Management, garnered significant interest, attracting over 110 students. The course’s popularity has sparked interest from other universities to explore similar collaborations with Tether. Covering a broad spectrum of topics—including blockchain technology, digital assets, Bitcoin, and stablecoins—the program is structured to offer both technical and business perspectives.

Tether's expertise will be pivotal in advancing academic programs and research initiatives through this partnership. Building on the successful course materials developed for NTUT, the curriculum will be enriched with insights from industry experts, preparing students for informed and responsible participation in the blockchain sector. Key focus areas include:

- Fundamental Knowledge of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies: Comprehensive education on the basics of blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
- Critical Thinking Development: Cultivating the ability to analyze and assess the authenticity of cryptocurrency information.
- Risk Awareness and Investment Principles: Emphasizing the high-risk nature of cryptocurrencies and promoting rational investment principles.
- Legal and Regulatory Education: Understanding regulatory policies and the importance of compliance.
- Industry Insights and Career Prospects: Gaining firsthand industry perspectives from professionals.

Support and Expansion

Over the past two years, Tether and local organizations have sponsored over 30 students and professors to attend the prestigious Plan B summer school in Lugano. This year, Tether supported an additional 15 students and professors to participate in the Plan B Business School. These selected professors will leverage their newfound knowledge to create tailored course materials for the upcoming semesters.

“Tether’s education initiative aligns seamlessly with the visions of these universities to empower their students with the knowledge and technical skills to boost the adoption of digital assets in Taiwan,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “By focusing on comprehensive knowledge, Tether aims to work hand-in-hand with these prestigious universities to empower the next generation of blockchain professionals in the region.”
