The consideration for the organization that meet the criteria has been set by the Faculty in the following manners:
(1) International organizations in CLMV countries, (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam)
(2) A private company listed on the stock exchange
(3) A Ministry office in Bangkok
(4) Small businesses (SMEs) opening their businesses abroad
(5) Multinational companies opening offices in Thailand
*In the case of proposing another organization in addition to (1)-(5), the activities of cooperative education trainingmust be specified and must have been approved by the Cooperative Education Committee of the Faculty.
When applying for the Cooperative Education Training for the real work skills training project, the following is important information about the Cooperative Education training.
Work experience training during the semester break without enrollment in coursework and co-operative education is in accordance with the willingness of the students. For both in bound students and those, who wish to study outside of the country(out-bound students), the faculty will consider the readiness of students to voluntarily undertake work experience training and cooperative education. If a student decides not to voluntarily participate in work experience training or in cooperative education, it will not affect the student’s ability to graduate.
