In June 2012, DTU and other ASEAN universities founded P2A (Passage to Asean), an important milestone in cultural and academic integration between ten countries. Through P2A, DTU has organized activities to help students prepare to enter the ASEAN community. Workplace internships are an important part of the P2A program, enhancing partnerships with ASEAN universities and allowing students the opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences about ASEAN countries.

Ms. Le Nguyen Tue Hang said: “Participating in P2A helps students broaden their knowledge, and communication skills as we approach global integration. Over the years, DTU has sent students to several P2A countries and welcomed students to DTU also. On this occasion, we would like to thank the InterContinental for supporting our three CMRU students during their internships. We wish them all the best for the future.”
Worakit Saelee, Maneenuch Charoenkun and Patthakorn Unmuang of CMRU have impressed their colleagues during their three months working as waiters there, capable of performing their tasks and responsibilities to the complete satisfaction of the resort.
Patthakorn Unmuang said: “Our internships have been unforgettable. At first, everything was unfamiliar but, with the support of the DTU P2A ambassadors, we have easily adapted to the new environment and overcome some challenges. We have gained useful practical skills and hope to be able to come back soon.”
Through frequent collaborative academic and cultural exchange and internship activities, DTU and other P2A universities have broadened the experience of students. Working together, students have then made a significant contribution to the development of the ASEAN community.
