A professionally qualified technician is considered an important
factor for the development of industry in Thailand.
At present, the industrial sector demands more professional workers
who are proficiently equipped with skills in TVET.
In order to cater to the demand of the industry, it is then the duty of
education institutions to educate young people in TVET skills.
Towards Thailand 4.0

13. 13
BDI, STI and RMUTL has developed a
participatory teaching program
focusing on work-integrated learning
(WiL) in the form of “School in
Industry” or SiF. This model is believed
to be able to develop human resources
who are work ready for the workplace
by utilizing “Tri-lateral Network
Interaction Model” between
university, business and government.
Through SiF program, students
have the opportunity to foster
their practical training
knowledge-based, manual-
labour-based and professional
emphasis.
