Thailand prepares to become regional electronic hub

But acute shortage of labour

BANGKOK: -- Thailand will produce more semi-skilled and skilled technicians in the electronic sector in preparation for the country to become a regional electronic manufacturing hub in the future, according to Labour Minister Somsak Thepsuthin.

The Ministry of Labour, in cooperation with agencies concerned and the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), had targeted to produce 100,000 semi-skilled and skilled technicians each year over the next five years, from only around 20,000 a year currently, said Mr. Somsak.

"A Labour Ministry committee will be set up to coordinate with the Ministries of Education, Industry and Commerce, as well as all other agencies concerned to work out curricula and measures supporting the production of the semi-skilled and skilled technicians so that it meets the targeted figure," he noted.

Thailand is now facing acute shortage of up to around 50,000 semi-skilled and skilled technicians a year in the local electronic sector, according to the FTI.

The curricula and measures to help produce more technicians in the sector would not only meet growing domestic demand, but also support the kingdom's ambitious goal to become an electronic manufacturing hub in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the minister said.
