The Thailand Luban Workshop recently held an online school-enterprise meeting to promote cooperation in vocational education.
The Thailand Luban Workshop was the first overseas Luban Workshop, named after Lu Ban, an ancient Chinese craftsman who lived during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and designed to offer high-end technical skills training that can help college students meet requirements of the emerging global market.
Sponsored by Tianjin Bohai Vocational Technical College (TBVTC), it was established in the Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Technical College in Thailand on March 8, 2016.

Yu Lanping, president of the TBVTC, sent New Year's greetings to attendees at the Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Technical College venue.
Yu affirmed the support from HOMAG's Thailand branch, a woodworking and furniture industrial machines provider, and looks forward to more collaboration from overseas Chinese-funded enterprises.
He advised the TBVTC to offer new majors that have greater synergy with HOMAG, develop programs and give scholarships to welcome outstanding employees to further improve their skills.
"With joint efforts, the Thailand Luban Workshop will surely increase its visibility," he added.
