This project was designed to empower Thai major students with professional-level language competencies aligned with contemporary labour market demands. The initiative broadened students’ career perspectives, exposed them to authentic workplace environments, and deepened their understanding of the use of the Thai language in professional contexts.
Importantly, students also explored gender equality in workplace settings, particularly in organisations committed to inclusive practices.
