Academy Meeting – Training, Posters, Operational Plan & Job-Fair

Completion of First Training Session (Class A & B)

• Timeline

  • Class B finished “last week.”

  • Class A expected to finish “next week.”

• Student‐Satisfaction Survey (Class B only)

  • Overall facility average: $4.12$ / $5.0$

  • Lecturer rating: $4.15$ / $5.0$

• Detailed feedback

  • Facilities & space

  • Majority “strongly agree” or “agree.”

  • Internet connection drew the most “normal” (neutral) responses; intermittent drop-outs during app-development tasks.

  • Work-around: instructor switched to an off-line development approach.

  • Classroom & workspace

  • Generally “strongly agree.”

  • Female trainees raised repeated complaints about toilet conditions (cannot be fixed quickly).

  • Equipment (PCs) rated highly; issue mainly the network.

Poster for Second Training (Marketing Material)

• Two draft versions

  • Sample A → yellow background, more suited to social media (Instagram, SMS).

  • Sample B → white background, contains actual class photos, “more formal.”

• Alignment guidelines

  • Must follow ASEAN-WAY & NIPA‐ASEAN logo rules; presenter will send official logo guide after meeting.

• Decision

  • Use both posters for different channels.

  • Poster A: Facebook feed, casual promotion.

  • Poster B: Official web page, AKCF, ASEAN-WAY posts.

  • Designer (Yanan) to adjust logo placement & alignment on both.

Operational Plan for the Academy (Between Batches)

• Current status

  • School vacation starts after next week; no regular classes.

  • Class B report already complete; Class A report due by month-end.

  • Promotion for Second Batch also starts this month.

• Two supplementary ideas

  1. “Special Training Course for Teachers”

  • Tracks

    • Web & App → taught by Class B instructor.

    • AI & AIoT → taught by Class A instructor.

  • Preliminary instructor availability: both free mornings in August; cannot teach afternoons.

  • Tentative format: daily morning class for $1$–$2$ weeks; IICT to supply number of interested teachers.

  1. “Holiday Special Lecture for Everyone” (public, all ages)

  • Purpose: broad promotion of academy & ICT center.

  • Need to define: number of days, content scope, exact schedule.

• Next Step: presenter will draft a detailed plan and circulate to the two co-organizers.

Job Fair Planning

• Original concept

  • Hold combined job fair after both Batch 1 & Batch 2 complete, to boost attendance.

  • Proposed month earlier: September; recent suggestion: October (half-day) in IICT meeting room.

  • Core participant groups already listed; trainees must prepare presentations to “promote themselves.”

• Concerns & debate

  • Batch 1 readiness

  • Many Batch 1 trainees already placed:

    • $\approx 10$ trainees (≈½ of Class A) have jobs.

    • $3$–$4$ high-GPA students still seeking positions.

  • Waiting $2$–$3$ months after completion may be inefficient for their job search.

  • Traditional vs. new format

  • Korean side notes normal job fairs use company booths + live interviewing, not student stage presentations.

  • Hybrid suggestion: keep booths and support students to pitch on stage (short, coached presentations) to maximize visibility.

  • Additional channel: continuous sharing of intern / part-time offers from Korean firms in Laos, not just the annual fair.

• Action items

  • Further phone call between Jonghoon & Sun-Min to refine timing & format.

  • Prepare a specific plan (schedule, participant list, booth layout, presentation coaching) before next joint meeting.

Miscellaneous Points & Logistical Notes

• Vacation impact: organizer was on holiday last week, catching up now.

• Communication flow

  • After this meeting, organizer to call Sun-Min (in Korean) and then update Arumah via shared document.

  • Yanan to realign logos before publishing posters.

• Ethical / practical implications

  • Emphasis on fair access: maintaining connection with partially placed trainees, offering equal visibility at job fair.

  • Gender-sensitive facilities noted (female restroom complaints) but currently unresolved.

Immediate Next Steps (Action Checklist)

• $\boxed{Poster}$

  • Yanan fixes logo alignment & delivers final A/B files.

• $\boxed{Teacher\;Special\;Course}$

  • Draft detailed morning-only schedule (1–2 weeks) → send to IICT to confirm trainer & teacher counts.

• $\boxed{Holiday\;Public\;Lecture}$

  • Outline content, duration, target audience; propose dates during school vacation.

• $\boxed{Job\;Fair}$

  • Phone consultation (Jonghoon ↔ Sun-Min) → refine into written plan (booths + presentations) → share with Arumah.

• $\boxed{Reporting}$

  • Finish Class A training report by end-of-month.
