He said that the government had put focus on national development, where it has devised a 20-year national strategy as a long-term framework on maintaining, promoting and driving Thailand towards becoming a developed nation, having the ability to move forward sustainably amidst global changes. He spoke about the Ministry of Labour’s 20-year human resource development strategy and master plan which puts emphasis on workforce development. In the first five years, the plan focuses on building and planning for the ‘man power’ phase transition to the ‘brain power’ stage which will see Thailand become a highly intellectual and skilled workforce in the last phase of the strategy. Most importantly he said, was close collaboration between trilateral organizations and civil partnerships on driving the workforce in face of future change and challenges.
