UTCC Hosts Special Seminar - From Campus to Global Careers, Empowering Students for the International Stage

University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC), through its Office of International Relations, recently organized a special event under the UTCC Special Talks Series titled “From Campus to Global Careers: Entrepreneurship, Internships & Opportunities in Global Companies.” The event took place on Thursday, April 2, 2026, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM at the Meeting Room, 18th Floor, Building 24, UTCC.

The Special Talk was presided over by Associate Professor Dr. Weerachart Kilenthong, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research, who delivered the opening remarks and warmly welcomed the speaker and attendees. He emphasized the university’s commitment to equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and global perspectives necessary to thrive in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving international job market.

The seminar covered a wide range of topics, including the speaker’s entrepreneurial journey, distinctions between entrepreneurship and SMEs, business expansion strategies, and the role of foreign chambers of commerce in Thailand. It also provided an overview of career opportunities across various sectors, such as finance, banking, startups, the technology sector, and creative industries.

A key highlight of the session was the emphasis on internships as a critical first step in career development. The speaker underscored the importance of hands-on experience in helping students understand the professional world, explore their interests, and develop skills beyond the classroom. Students were encouraged to proactively seek opportunities and to take initiative without waiting until they felt “perfectly ready.”

The seminar also highlighted the importance of mindset alongside technical skills. Global organizations increasingly value cultural awareness, responsibility, reliability, the ability to work in diverse teams, and professional communication skills.

In closing, the speaker shared an important reflection on career journeys: no experience is ever wasted. Every role and decision contributes to both professional growth and personal development.

This seminar reflects UTCC’s ongoing mission to bridge academic learning with real-world experience, while preparing students to confidently step onto the global stage.
