Abstract
The assessment of social return on investment (SROI) which was conducted during fieldworks according to the strategy of Uttaradit Rajabhat University for local development of the fiscal year 2022 under the project series “The Enhancement of Competitiveness in Tamarind Cultivation and Processing in Uttaradit Province” showed that the SROI of the project series was 12.75, meaning that 1% of investment could generate socio-economic value of 12.75%. It also indicated that the project series was worth promoting and investing in.
However, there were some restrictions on the soft skills enhancement program, which was a part of the project. Only nine students were able to participate in the program due to the pandemic of COVID-19 during which the training sessions were carried out online. The researcher team gave priority to the students’ safety. The participants must have a consent form signed by their parents before participating in the social labs.
The result from the soft skills enhancement indicated that the learning outcome converted into financial value was 44,100 Baht. In addition, communication and teamworking skills of the students were effectively enhanced.
