Work performed, not positions taken.
Seven services sold by the job, seven funded programmes, and a German apprenticeship running in Thai vocational colleges since 2013.
The service desk
Their seven services, in their published order, each with the line their own index gives it. The service brand across the whole German network is DEinternational.
GTCC provides services to German and Thai companies and acts as a strategic partner between the two economies. GTCC supports companies and institutions from both countries in opening up new trade and investment opportunities.
Market entry, in three pieces
What the market entry desk actually sells, under the three names it gives them. The third keeps its German name, which is the name their own page uses.
Their page offers a complimentary initial consultation on each of the three, and routes all of them to the Corporate Services desk. Market Entry on their own site
Programmes and projects
Funded work the chamber carries out alongside its own services, much of it on energy, hydrogen and environmental technology.
GTDEE, the dual apprenticeship
In 2013, German-Thai Chamber of Commerce and German International Cooperation (GIZ) launched, in co-operation with founding companies B.Grimm, BMW Thailand Company Limited and Robert Bosch Thailand, this dual vocational education and training (DVET) programme for Thailand.
German-Thai Dual Excellence Education (GTDEE) is vocational education and training programme in which apprentices work and study during the given period. It is also well-known as the apprenticeship programme.
The main objective of the apprenticeship programme is to produce skilled workforce with flexible qualifications who are mobile and capable of working in their chosen fields. GTDEE intends to share best practices from Germany’s vocational education system.
GTDEE is offering a Train the Trainer Seminar to certify "AdA International - Trainer the Trainer", which is the highest international certification for apprenticeship trainers accredited by DIHK. The training duration is 120 training hours, with examination according to the AEVO.
GTDEE keeps its own office and its own mailbox inside the chamber, on the same floor of AIA Sathorn Tower. The colleges above are the ones their partner-colleges page lists; the occupations they train for are published in German on their own site and are not translated here.
The companies that take apprentices
The five their own GTDEE page lists as offering apprenticeships now, with the programme each one runs.
The colleges, and the trades
GTDEE currently collaborates with vocational education colleges throughout Thailand, grouped by the trade they train for.
The bodies above are the ones their own page names as supporting GTDEE. The partner colleges
What the chamber publishes
Their publications page prints one figure about reach, and it is theirs: printed advertising reaches the German and Thai businesses listed in a GTCC database of about 4,000 contacts. No circulation figure is published for the magazine itself and none is invented here.
The services are open to members and non-members. The rates are not.
Member companies pay a reduced rate at most of the chamber’s events and in most of its media, and their visa support page is addressed to members.
