At the 2024 TPCA Show, the Taiwan Printed Circuit Association (TPCA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with four major Thai institutions to enhance talent development in Thailand's growing PCB sector.
This initiative includes a “Thailand Science and Technology Talent Training Program” with short-term training courses at three Thai universities, launching in November 2024 to prepare students for PCB industry roles. TPCA also hosted Thai university representatives at the TPCA Show to facilitate industry-academia partnerships.
Key institutions involved in the MOU include the Thailand Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Policy Office (NXPO), King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Prince of Songkla University (PSU), and Suranaree University of Technology (SUT). The agreement covers training material development, student internships, and other collaboration efforts.
Starting November 2024, TPCA will work with KMUTT, KKU, SUT, and other institutions to launch preliminary training programs for entry-level PCB roles, aiming to prepare 180 graduates with essential engineering skills by the end of 2025, supporting the talent needs of Taiwanese PCB companies in Thailand.
