WiL Academy
WiL Academy, known in short as WiLA, is an
intermediary body and facilitator that connect all parts of
WiL practice in Thailand. WiLA has been proposed by the
National Science Technology and Innovation Policy Office.
STI emphasizes on human resource development and by
establishing WiLA will try to close the gap between the
academic knowledge of students to that of technical skills
gained in the factory. WiLA will also look at the
management and the administration of WiL practice both
in terms of funds and rules and regulations.
