webfact Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Govt to develop 3.7 million workers in 2018 BANGKOK, 13 October 2017 (NNT) - The Department of Skill Development (DSD) is preparing to build up the skills of workers in the labor sector to pave the way for the Thailand 4.0 development era. Speaking about fiscal year 2018, DSD Director-General Suthi Sukosol said the department would extend its labor enhancement scheme to different groups, particularly community enterprises and low-wage earners. The DSD plans to ready various groups of people for the job market through diversified job training. Special emphasis will be placed on people with difficult job prospects, including people with disabilities, the elderly, ethnic minorities, and former drug addicts. The DSD will also provide human resource development courses, such as installing drip irrigation systems managed by apps, automotive manufacturing, and advanced 3D animation to strengthen the competitiveness of Thai workers. Vocational workers will be encouraged to take government skill workshops to expand their career options. The DSD expects to improve the skills of 3.7 million workers next year in support of all Thai industries. -- nnt 2017-10-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I sadly doubt the ability of this country to get 3.7 million people to learn to wipe their bum properly after taking a dump, but Hey, let them dream I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doremifasol Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) "Special emphasis will be placed on people with difficult job prospects, including ........ former drug addicts". This was done in the past and many of the reformed drug addicts became taxi and van drivers. Sadly, not all of them were successfully turned into "former"...... Some of them still carry old tracks in their arms but they changed their life around for good; others have the same old tracks in their arms but didn't reform at all..... They have have just switched to a different drug which makes them difficult to talk to and deal with, paranoid and bottom line dangerous for society at large. For Gawd's sake, they drive people around....... Where I live (on the outer-skirt of BKK) this is a sad reality.

chickenslegs Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 IMHO this is a worthwhile project - certainly seems more beneficial, in the long-term, than subsidising rice or rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how the japanese like those employee's in their factories 55555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coulson Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Very shortsighted for a country whose existing skilled and educated workers leave to pursue their careers outside the Kingdom. You need jobs first before you think about how to fill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djayz Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Are there even 3.7 mil. people here who WANT to learn/develop/better themselves? Let's assume they do actually train 3.7 mil. people; are these newly trained employees going to earn a decent salary afterwards that reflects their newly acquired skill set? ฿ 300/day isn't really all that rewarding/inspiring.

Many of the skilled may end up driving taxis in tourist resorts where the average run (without a meter in the car) gets you 300 THB in 20 minutes !!!
