The Deputy Labour Minister moved forward with Big Data to link data between workers who want to develop their skills, corresponding to vacant positions to develop skills in the 5G era.
On August 31, 2020, Deputy Labour Minister Prof. Narumon Pinyosinwat welcomed the Chairman of the Executive Committee of Cat Buzz TV Co., Ltd Khun Natthinan Suksompong and the committee on a visit to congratulate the Deputy Labour Minister on appointment to her new position. The meeting also discussed ways to create a Smart Governance through Digital Service Platforms on the Line Official Account of the Department of Skill Development. The meeting took place at the Special Reception Room, 6th floor, Ministry of Labour.
The system is developed by Cat Buzz TV Co., Ltd. as a joint venture of CAT Telecom, which is a major shareholder, together with Siam Innocity’s Digital Platform partner as the Line Govtech team and Modern Network Company Limited. The platform will be a system that connects and serves as a communication channel between the Department of Skill Development and the people through the Line application. It will also serve as a channel to promote knowledge and publicize news and various benefits by the government and provide support for skill development to the general public through the form of a Social Platform that is convenient for all groups of people to use.
The Deputy Labour Minister said the Ministry of Labour’s Department of Skill Development foresees the benefits of cooperation in supporting the said technology. This includes creating a channel to connect various agencies of the Department to serve people through the Line Official Account channel to facilitate the public for easier and faster communication with the agency. It will also be linking information on skill development, available positions, employer needs, and the needs of workers looking for vacancies. There will be a system to collect information on people who come to use various services of the Department through the Internet, according to the Computer Act. In addition, the platform can also be used as a two-way communication channel between departments and the people.
The Deputy Labour Minister added that it would take advantage of the Line Official Account system to allow trainees to use it as a channel for registration, attendance, and testing in terms of skill development. There will be a free WiFi system with a special feature to automatically attract WiFi users to become a member on the Line Official Account automatically, which will increase the membership in the system. Free WiFi will be installed in various departments under the Ministry of Labour throughout the country.
