ITE Teamwork Camp: Collaboration Skills Training for Career Readiness (Burapha University)

The Department of Vocational Education and Social Development, Faculty of Education, organised the ITE Teamwork Camp to prepare undergraduate Industrial Technology Education students for the professional workforce. Guided by the student-centred principles of the National Education Act B.E. 2542 (1999) and core civic values, the initiative focuses on fostering essential teamwork capabilities, ethical mindsets, and professional adaptability. By bringing together undergraduate students, faculty members, and experienced external practitioners across diverse sectors, the workshop created an active knowledge-sharing platform. This collaborative network enhances students’ core competencies, leadership, and long-term competitiveness in a sustainable job market.
