Depa debuts 100 courses under digital skills roadmap
Bangkok Post
|July 01, 2025
The Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa) has launched the first 100 courses under Thailand's digital skills roadmap, aimed at helping businesses develop digital talent and a digital workforce with a goal of producing over 1 million talents per year.
The initiative is a collaboration with the Revenue Department to promote digital skills development and employment through tax incentive measures.
The courses, developed in collaboration with leading global and local tech companies, cover key areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) and data, cloud, cybersecurity and digital marketing.
The project aims to reduce the digital skills gap in the country as the growth of digital businesses is estimated at 13% a year between 2024 and 2026, while digital skills growth is put at only 1.4% a year during the same period, said depa president Nuttapon Nimmanphatcharin.
