ISSC Empowers Students through 21st Century Skills Workshops
The International Student Services Center (ISSC) organized a series of workshops under the 21st Century Skills Program, part of the Soft Skill Enhancement Project aimed at strengthening students’ global competencies and professional readiness. The activities were held on 2–3 July 2025 at the VIP Reception Room 1, Office of the University 1, Chiang Mai University.
The program was designed to develop essential soft skills and support students in building practical abilities relevant to academic and career success in an international context.
