More than 130 sailors learned skills they can use after serving in
the military as the Royal Thai Navy opened its latest job-training
workshop.
Vice Adm. Jirawat Sermrittirong, deputy director of career development,
opened the Jan. 17 course for 83 conscripts.
Executives from the Rayong Skill Development Center, Chonburi Institute
for Skill Development 3 and Thai Shipowners Association offered four
general technician courses to 83 recruits and two classes on ship
operations to another 50.
Jeerawat said the courses are part of the navy’s strategy to prepare its
conscripts for careers after leaving the service.
