In a speech, former National Youth Commission head Cheng Li-chun pointed out that "job skills" doesn't have to mean traditional job training but could be the cultivation of a holistic attitude toward lifelong learning: if students are instilled while still in school with the abilities to find a job, hold on to it, and do it well, then they might be able to avoid that long and painful period of searching.
前青輔會主委鄭麗君在演講中指出，就業力並不等於傳統的職業訓練，而是「全人教育」、「終身學習能力」的培養。希望趁年輕人還在學校時，就及早把未來出社會後「找到工作、保有工作並且把工作做好」的能力先建立起來，才能免去漫長而痛苦的衝撞摸索期。
