The main responsibility of political appointees is to decide policy. Their decisions have a major impact on national interests and citizen well-being. This makes providing them with proper training so they can competently carry out their duties a particularly important issue. By analyzing the associated literature and conducting on the spot interviews this study aimed to achieve the following purposes: (1) Clarify the differences between political appointees and civil servants; (2) Study and analyze the responsibilities of political appointees and the abilities required; (3) Compare the training options available for domestic and foreign political appointees; (4)Provide conclusions and recommendations for reference. This study found that: Within Asia, the political parties in Singapore look for appropriate candidates from all parts of society to participate in the parliamentary elections, with outstanding members of parliament chosen as political appointees. In Europe, England uses the cabinet model, in which political appointees rise through the ranks, starting as normal members of parliament and progressing to become junior ministers, and then cabinet ministers, in a relatively regulated process. In the Americas, the United States of America follows the presidential model. Frequent changes of political appointees leads to management issues, so the government holds workshops to improve their management skills. To develop and train political appointees, our country's major political parties have established related training organizations or groups. The new government has also organized workshops for its political appointees. The study also made the following recommendations: (1) For long-term training, the six categories are political parties, universities, the Legislative Yuan ,administrative organizations, local political expertise and enterprise; (2) For short-term training, these can be classified as five categories include short-term workshops, collaborative training with foreign universities, short-term international inspection tours, visits to related personnel and listening to official briefings.Keywords: political appointees, civil servant, globalization, human resources training and development, political party
