Khon Kaen University Science Park (KKUSP) continues its mission to foster emerging entrepreneurs by supporting selected students from the Experiential Learning Program (ELP) cohort 3 during their international Outbound activities in the United Kingdom and South Korea.
Khon Kaen University Science Park (KKUSP) promoted the participation of Khon Kaen University students, who were nationally selected for the third cohort of the Experiential Learning Program (ELP), in Outbound activities held in the United Kingdom and South Korea. These two nations were part of the five chosen destinations—along with France, Taiwan, and Japan—designated as deep-learning environments for innovation and business ecosystems.
The programme aims to bolster the potential of students, preparing them to become new-generation entrepreneurs and future CEOs. This goal is achieved through practical assignments with international companies, building global networks, and pursuing in-depth learning in marketing, technology, and innovation development. The students participated in these two-week activities throughout the month of November.
