It needs more for that - you need to be employable and job-ready at the time of your graduation. This is what the NVQ Level 5 Diploma states, and what is an important goal in the education at STC. National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are educational awards in England, Wales and Northern Ireland that are achieved through assessment and training. They are based on recognised occupational standards, work-based and/or simu- lated work-based assessment where they confer occupational competence. To achieve an NVQ, candidates had to prove that they had the ability (compe- tence) to carry out their job to the required standard. NVQs were based on Na- tional Occupational Standards that described the "competencies" expected in any given job role. 3 study oPtions anD sPeCial Program featUres study aBroaD oPtions at lamar University in texas, U.s.a.

They certainly can complete the full program in Bangkok, if they wish, and than optionally attend the graduation ceremony at Lamar University in Texas. free lamar University Work anD study oPtion For many students, however, studying abroad is unaffordable. Especially for them, Lamar University offers a Work and Study option without any administrative or program fees. The student pays only for the visa fee and the flight. This program runs from May through August every year. It allows students to gain important intercultural and work experience while using English during the time in the United States. Students of the 3-Continent Program may enroll if they ⊕ have finished at least two semesters, and ⊕ have a good command of written and spoken English. Participants will travel to the U.S.A. and work an average of 30 hours per week and earn roughly $10 per hour. Work is often in resorts or amusement parks. Shared housing will be arranged. While there are no administration fees (fees for these programs are often quite expensive) students will need to pay for their visa fee and flight. Students will pay their own expenses, but their earnings usually more than cover these costs as well as flights and visa costs.

Since 2015, the solar car teams compete at the World Solar Challenge (WSC) with teams from University of Michigan, MIT, Adelaide University, Cambridge University, Stanford University and others. At such as technology college, innovation and entrepreneurship are natural elements of education. For our stu- dents, we offer an incubator as well. All this is, however, until now limited to our Thai program, i.e. degree pro- grams conducted in the Thai language. We are now preparing an extension of our international program in the area of entrepreneurship, and we thought it a good idea to start this endeavour with a Summer University in which we can show what Asia has to offer in this area. As Thailand has been progressing towards becoming an industrialized country, it has continuously faced hard- ships due to a shortage of qualified personnel possessing both knowledge and appropriate skills. Realizing that Thailand was in dire need of people with industrial skills, Dr. Narong Mongkhonvanit took on the responsibility of resolving this shortage. In 1965, he established Thailand’s first private vocational institution that could provide students with job-oriented training. He named the new school “Siam Institute of Technology.” Over the course of the past several decades, the institution expanded its vision, added a Commercial Department to its curriculum and changed its name to Siam Technical College (SiamTech). The year 2005 marked the 40th anniversary of the institution, and the time arrived to take yet another new step. Aiming at advancing into a new level of educational development, Siam Technical College (SiamTech) decided to establish a new institution simply called “Siam Technology College (SiamTechno).” Siam Technology College has opened its doors in 2006. The 800+ square meter campus is adjacent to (but distinctly separate from) Siam Technical College (SiamTech). Siam Technology College now features a growing list of degree programs for stu- dents interested in pursuing business and technology-related degrees. Enshrined in the college’s curriculum are the fundamental principles of equality and continuity, focusing on educating students from all educational back- grounds throughout Thailand and ASEAN. 5 the international Program team WelCome message By PornPhisud mongkhonvanit PresiDent of siam teChnology College Dear Prospective Participants: Welcome to Thailand and Siam Technology College.
