Siam Daikin Sales, the leader in air conditioning innovation and technology for Daikin air conditioners, gives full support to the recently launched campaign “R-Generation Technicians for Nationwide Maintenance” by offering trainers to equip vocational students with the knowledge, know-how and technical skillsets of air conditioner maintenance to raise the standard of services to international level.
Mr. Bundit Srivallapanondh, Managing Director of Siam Daikin Sales Co., Ltd., the world’s leader in air conditioning innovation, reveals that, “Daikin has professed its devotion to join forces with the private sector to support them with integrated knowledge and skills training. We are delighted to give our full support to the R-Generation Technicians for Nationwide Maintenance campaign which is also a statement of how Daikin is determined to nurture quality and skilled air conditioner technicians. Participants in this program will receive both theoretical and practical knowledge from Daikin’s finest professional technicians. We believe that this will boost the capacity and skills of vocational students and prepare them to become professionals qualified to international standards.”
R-Generation Technicians for Nationwide Maintenance is a collaborative effort between The Office of Vocational Education Commission and Office of Non-Formal and Informal Education. Together they have successfully created a Fix it Center Community that showcases the potential of volunteer vocational students that put their technical skills to good use and help the community in difficult times.
The Ministry of Education has laid out the policy to raise the standard of community maintenance services so as to create a sustainable Fix it Center community that is modern and of the high standard required by the Thailand 4.0 national agenda. The centre, enhanced by digital technology, allows easy, fast and convenient access to the services. The ministry has assigned The Office of Vocational Education Commission to create Fixit Center application to give the public easy access to the air conditioner maintenance services by R-Generation Technicians for Nationwide Maintenance campaign by simply registering and booking service dates via the application. The trial period started accepting maintenance orders between 5-7 March 2020 to offer free cleaning for 1,000 air conditioners between 11-15 March 2020 for households in Bangkok and metropolitan areas.
“Daikin sees the importance of providing skills support and is determined to promote educational and skill-enhancing activities to boost the capacity and skillsets of students, vocational students, teachers, and academic faculties because it is essential to cater to the ever-increasing demand in the service sector,” further explains Mr. Bundit. “Daikin emphasises its training sessions to offer vocational excellence with quality practical skills to keep up with the demand of the labour market. We are confident that our support will pave way to high quality vocational practice with international standard in Thailand in the foreseeable future.”
