On 25 March 2026, Ms. Marinee Suwanmoli, Deputy Director-General of the Department of European Affairs, presided over and delivered opening remarks at the project entitled “Promoting Cooperation in Vocational Education with Germany through a Train-the-Trainer Workshop on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Vocational Teaching in the 21st Century,” jointly organised by the Department of European Affairs and Eastern Technological College (E.Tech), Chonburi.
The project aims to enhance the capacity of vocational instructors to apply AI in teaching, including lesson planning, learning materials development, and assessment, as well as to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to further transfer AI competencies to vocational students. The project also contributes to promoting understanding of Germany’s Dual System in Technical and Vocational Education and Training. On 26 March 2026, Ms. Marinee Suwanmoli led participants on a study visit to observe the practical application of AI in an industrial setting at Robert Bosch Automotive Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd. in Rayong Province, with a view to strengthening hands-on experience and practical understanding of AI applications in real-world contexts.
The successful implementation of the project was made possible through close collaboration among relevant partners, including Eastern Technological College, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Thailand, the German-Thai Chamber of Commerce, King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok, the Thai-German Institute, the Chonburi Provincial Office of Education, and Robert Bosch Automotive Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
