The event was held by Stamford International University, the Department of Employment Prachuap Kirikhan Province, WWW.JOBBKK.COM and Bluport Department Store Hua Hin.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Apitep Saekow, Assistant President of Stamford International University, shared knowledge about \u201cThe 21st Century Skills towards Thailand 4.0\u201d to the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Students and graduates need to prepare themselves and be ready for the digital future and opportunities offered by the \u2018Fourth Industrial Revolution\u2019 and Thailand 4.0. Companies are going through a digital transformation and rapid modernisation.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Apitep discussed how businesses in Thailand 4.0 are being enhanced by disruptive technology and how technological advances are leading to new business in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>New industry clusters in Thailand 4.0 utilize more and more technology such as automation and IOT (Internet of Things). New production is based on co-creation and collaborative networks among public and private sectors. The businesses are based on demand and are designed to operate in a global context rather than focusing on only local context. Factories, for example, become SMART factories which use automation, computing and data exchange technology in manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Apitep also shared that the skills needed in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century are soft skills like cooperative skills, communications skills, time-management skills, leadership skills, as well as the hard skills like cloud computing skills, data-mining, web architecture, digital marketing\u00a0 and other digital technology-related skills. He also added that the native-digital younger generation should be properly trained to be passion-driven and to innovate. Moreover, English language skills are essential as English is the global language for communication, knowledge exchange and commerce.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, Dr Apitep pointed out that the thing that makes human-beings different from robots is \u2018integrity\u2019. Graduates should not only have ready-to-work skills but should also have recognized and demonstrated local and global citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students and graduates need to prepare themselves and be ready for the digital future and opportunities offered by the \u2018Fourth Industrial Revolution\u2019 and Thailand 4.0.
