Abstract Since 2008, the overall unemployment rate has been rising sharply, and the overall unemployment and economic problems have gradually emerged. The unemployment rate in areas of Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung County, and Pingtung County is higher than the standard of the whole Taiwan area, and the industrial development in areas of Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung County, and Pingtung County starts to change. Under this circumstance, enterprises and unemployed persons attach more importance to Taiwan government's vocational training policies. Vocational training has always been the government's main long-term human resources policy. Therefore, this study is trying to discuss how to cultivate the manpower needed by enterprises and promote unemployed persons to re-enter the job market through vocational training, promote the overall social stability and activate economy, and probe into the pre-service training items for public vocational training in order to attain the goals and purposes of vocational training. Employment security is one of the major policies of Taiwan government, and vocational training and employment services are the greatest demands for people toward employment security. Although the policy goals of vocational training are quite clear, the actual practice still leaves room for improvement. The contents of this study include: analysis of difficulties encountered by people in areas of Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung County, and Pingtung County; planning for vocational training courses administered by the government; and direction of enterprises¡¦ demand for talents. This study clarifies the demands of the existing enterprises and people for professional vocational training from the angle of the needs of enterprises, market and unemployed persons, as well as supply differences, and further submits concrete suggestions for improving employment ability and meeting the needs of enterprises for talents. From this study, it is found that there is a gap between enterprises¡¦ demand for manpower and the existing vocational training items. Consequently, the employment ability of the unemployed people can¡¦t be solved effectively. The main factor lies in the fact that the vocational training units fail to control complete and sufficient information about the job market. So, the vocational training units are suggested to understand the talent gap of enterprises first before they develop vocational training courses as the pre-service training projects for unemployed persons in the future, so as to create a win-win-win situation for enterprises, unemployed persons, and vocational training units.
