Empowering the Workforce Through Innovative Education

Kenan Foundation Asia (Kenan) is at the forefront of transforming Thailand’s educational landscape by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and green skills into training programs. In collaboration with various public and private sector partners, Kenan organized a pivotal conference titled “Building AI and Green Skills for a Sustainable Workforce.” This event brought together stakeholders to address policy gaps and practical challenges in workforce development.

Aligning with Thailand’s Vision 2030

Thailand aims to become a leader in several key industries, including the digital economy, future mobility, and agriculture, as outlined in its Vision 2030 initiative, “Ignite Thailand.” To achieve these ambitious goals, the country plans to leverage its natural resources, tourism potential, and the capabilities of its people.

  • Focus on AI and Green Practices: As Thai businesses increasingly adopt AI technologies and green business practices—designed to maximize resource efficiency while minimizing environmental impact—there is a pressing need for a workforce equipped with relevant skills.

The Importance of AI and Green Skills

Preparing Graduates for Future Opportunities

Graduates who possess both green skills and AI proficiency are uniquely positioned to drive innovation within their industries. These competencies are essential not only for securing employment but also for fostering entrepreneurial ventures and engaging meaningfully with their communities.

  • Kenan’s Collaborative Approach: By partnering with government agencies, educational institutions, and industry leaders, Kenan aims to create a robust framework that supports the development of these critical skills among Thai youth.

Highlights from the Conference

Keynote Speakers and Expert Insights

The conference featured prominent figures such as H.E. Mr. Robert F. Godec, Ambassador of the United States to Thailand, who delivered opening remarks on the importance of public-private collaboration in workforce development. Additionally, Prof. Sirirurg Songsivilai, Chairman of Thailand Science Research and Innovation, provided a keynote address focused on equipping the STEM workforce with essential competencies in AI and green technologies.

  • Showcasing Best Practices: The event also highlighted local and global best practices for integrating AI and green skills into educational systems, promoting collaboration among governments, businesses, and civil society.

Kenan’s New Initiatives for Youth Empowerment

The Mekong Green Skills Accelerator

Ms. Allison Morris, Director of Partnerships at Kenan Foundation Asia, introduced an exciting new initiative called “The Mekong Green Skills Accelerator.” This program aims to equip youth across the region with relevant skills needed to excel in green sectors such as solar energy, electric vehicles, and sustainable agriculture.

  • Ambitious Goals: The initiative seeks to empower 150,000 students by 2030, preparing them to become leaders in green industries through both technical training and soft skills development.

Commitment to Sustainable Economic Growth

Building Capacity for Future Generations

Mr. Richard Bernhard, Executive Director of Kenan Foundation Asia, emphasized that for over 28 years, Kenan has focused on empowering individuals through capacity-building initiatives. By training over 19,000 educators and impacting more than 3 million students, Kenan is committed to creating tailored programs that meet local needs while adhering to international standards.

  • Collaborative Efforts: The success of this conference was made possible through collaboration among government entities, businesses, academia, and civil society. Kenan extends its gratitude to all participants who contributed their knowledge and expertise.

Shaping a Sustainable Future for Thai Youth

Kenan Foundation Asia is leading the charge in preparing Thailand’s youth for a sustainable future through innovative education focused on AI and green skills. By fostering collaboration among various sectors and addressing skill gaps in the workforce, Kenan is helping to ensure that young people are equipped to thrive in an evolving economic landscape. As Thailand moves towards its Vision 2030 goals, initiatives like these will be crucial in driving sustainable growth and development across the nation.
