The project aims to enhance the development of logistics graduates into highly competent professionals equipped with academic knowledge, professional skills, and practical workplace experience. It is designed to address the evolving needs of the logistics and transportation industries, which play a vital role in driving economic development and strengthening national competitiveness.<\/p>

A key feature of the project in Fiscal Year 2026 is the adoption of a co-design approach<\/strong>, bringing together the university and industry partners to jointly define student competencies and learning outcomes that align with real-world workplace requirements. Participating students will undertake an intensive eight-month work placement from 20 April to 13 November 2026<\/strong>, while developing projects aimed at solving workplace challenges and improving organizational efficiency through Project-Based Learning<\/strong>.<\/p>\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<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Following the presentations, university administrators, faculty members, workplace mentors, representatives from industry partners, and students participated in focus group discussions<\/strong> to jointly identify and define student competencies appropriate to the specific roles and requirements of each participating organization. Industry partners included Smart Distribution Services Co., Ltd., Lotus\u2019s Surat Thani Distribution Center, Petchsrivichai Enterprise Public Company Limited, and N.P. Marine Co., Ltd.<\/strong>, as well as affiliated companies supporting student development under the project.<\/p>

This collaboration marks an important step for Walailak University in strengthening the integration of academic knowledge with industry practices. Through authentic workplace experience, students will develop essential competencies in transportation, warehouse management, supply chain management, and the application of digital technologies<\/strong>, while learning to address real-world challenges faced by industry. The initiative is expected to enhance students\u2019 professional readiness and enable them to enter the workforce with confidence upon graduation.<\/p>\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<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
