Together, they designed a program aimed at promoting service and tourism education for high-income market groups. High school students from the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) were invited to apply, resulting in 160 applications from which 80 students were selected, representing 10 different schools in the region. The selected students participated in a three-day program hosted at BUUIC from April 28\u201330, 2025. During the event, students engaged in hands-on learning activities, received guidance from industry experts and mentors, and explored the growing opportunities in the service and tourism sectors. This structured and inclusive process ensured that the program was both educational and impactful, aligning with SDG 4, Indicator 4.3.2 by providing a university-hosted learning experience open to the public and supporting lifelong learning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1015905 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1015905\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76cf515 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"76cf515\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1166\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-135\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg 1166w, https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-1024x527.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-768x395.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1166px) 100vw, 1166px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39d786b e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"39d786b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58f0182 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58f0182\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The impact of this project is significant in both educational and economic dimensions. By engaging 80 high school students from across the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), the initiative has successfully introduced young learners to the practical realities and career opportunities within the service and tourism industries\u2014sectors that are vital to the region\u2019s economic development. Through hands-on experiences and expert mentorship, students not only gained valuable skills but also developed a clearer understanding of their potential roles in the future workforce. This exposure helps bridge the gap between secondary education and industry needs, fostering a more prepared and motivated generation. Additionally, by being hosted at a university and accessible to a wide group of students, the program supports lifelong learning and aligns with SDG 4, Indicator 4.3.2, by promoting inclusive, quality education that extends beyond traditional academic boundaries.<\/p>\n<p><strong data-start=\"3141\" data-end=\"3168\">Date of Implementation:&nbsp;<\/strong>April 28-30, 2025<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 This project plays a vital role in fostering youth development<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":131,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[50],"tags":[4,18],"rttpg_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",1166,600,false],"landscape":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",1166,600,false],"portraits":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",1166,600,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-300x154.jpg",300,154,true],"large":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-1024x527.jpg",640,329,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",1166,600,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",1166,600,false],"ultp_layout_landscape_large":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",1166,600,false],"ultp_layout_landscape":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",870,448,false],"ultp_layout_portrait":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",600,309,false],"ultp_layout_square":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",600,309,false],"nhuja-news-carousel-img":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-783x450.jpg",783,450,true],"nhuja-news-carousel-img-landscape":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-783x225.jpg",783,225,true],"nhuja-news-carousel-large-img":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-1000x574.jpg",1000,574,true],"nhuja-news-carousel-large-img-landscape":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-1000x287.jpg",1000,287,true],"nhuja-news-large-thumb":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn.jpg",1166,600,false],"nhuja-news-small-thumb":["https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4_0-Mellon-Sudthijitt-Rodpunn-350x220.jpg",350,220,true]},"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"paphada.ou buu","author_link":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/?author=4"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/?cat=50\" rel=\"category\">International college<\/a>","rttpg_excerpt":"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 This project plays a vital role in fostering youth development","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=130"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":255,"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130\/revisions\/255"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sdgs.buu.ac.th\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
