November 27, 2023 ─ SEAMEO STEM-ED collaborated with the National Career Academy Coalition (NCAC) - USA, the Office of National Higher Education Science Research and Innovation Policy Council (NXPO or สอวช), and Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) to organize a series of forums under the umbrella of 'STEM Career Academies' at the Library and Educational Media Center, SUT.

In the pursuit of effective initiatives fostering career and college learning management within schools, seamless collaboration among diverse stakeholders has proven to be imperative. This collaboration encompasses schools, local educational organizations, private sectors, and the surrounding communities. Functioning as a project leader and facilitator, SEAMEO STEM-ED centre will play a pivotal role in orchestrating cooperative efforts across different regions in Thailand.

The regional-level presentations featured in the event encompass a spectrum of transformative themes, including "From Trends of Transformation: Shaping the Workforce and Education of Tomorrow," "Unlock the Future: Revolutionize the Education System with the STEM Career Academies Model," "Transforming Career Academies Classrooms: A Deep Dive into Project-Based Learning," and "Maximizing Learning Opportunities: The Senior High School Work Immersion Program in the Philippines." These pioneering initiatives are poised for dissemination to interested areas, marking the commencement of career and college learning management design in high school institutions.

To catalyze these efforts, practical workshops are scheduled across three provincial cohorts:
