The 2026 Thai "Chinese+Vocational Skills" Training Program is led by Narongchai and composed of senior administrators from Thailand's vocational education authorities and vocational colleges.
As the first institution in China designated to build the International Promotion Base for "Chinese+Vocational Skills", our university has worked in coordination with the Institute of Chinese Language and Technical and Vocational Education and Training to recruit participants and advance all related work.
In recent years, our university has taken an active part in the establishment and operation of the Institute. We have dispatched teachers to be stationed at the Institute in Thailand as Chinese resident experts, where they have investigated the development needs of Thai educational institutions and Chinese-funded enterprises in Thailand. The university has established a college-college-enterprise coordination mechanism, regularly conducted training programs for local teachers, and organized Thai students to take part in activities such as the "Chinese Bridge" programs in China and the Southeast Asia Division of the World Vocational College Skills Competition, continuously deepening practical cooperation between China and Thailand in the field of "Chinese + Vocational Skills".
Going forward, our university will continue to leverage the platform strengths of the International Promotion Base for "Chinese+Vocational Skills" and work with the Institute to expand channels for China-Thailand vocational education exchanges, contribute to the high-quality development of Belt and Road cooperation, and help deepen practical cooperation in vocational education between the two countries.
