The Covid-19 outbreak in Thailand has disrupted the workforce in the country and resulted in 7 million displaced workers. Workforce in various industries were also impacted by declined domestics and international demand.
There are a total of 230,000 university graduates in Thailand each year and two-thirds of them have difficulty securing entry level jobs. Youth aged between 15 to 24 have an unemployment rate of around 7%, and a NEET rate of around 15%. The number of unemployed persons with no work experience rose to 260,000 in Q1 of 2022, which is a 5.2% increase from Q1 of 2021. In addition, Thailand is one of the fastest-aging countries in the world. The proportion of the population aged 60 and above is projected to increase from 13% in 2010 to 33% in 2040. This projection threatens national productivity.
With constant changes and disruption, local workforce and young graduates in Thailand see the need to uplift their skills. It is clear that there is a pressing need to transform the education-to-employment systems in Thailand, and Generation Thailand has the solution for this.
At Generation Thailand, we aim to address breakdowns in the education-to-employment system through the following steps:
- Secure Job vacancies: Pre-confirmed jobs with employers from the start
- Recruitment: Learner recruitment based on intrinsics, effort, and requirements for the role
- Training and social support: 4—12 weeks of role-specific activity-based training, covering technical, behavioral, and mindset skills, with social support services provided in parallel
- Job placement: Demonstration-based interviews for our graduates with employers for immediate job placement
- Mentorship and community: Mentorship during and after the program up to 6 months to support the learner’s transition
- Return on Investment (ROI): ROI-tracking for employers and alumni over time
- Data-centered approach: At every step we collect data to ensure timeline, precise decision making that creates positive impact for employers, learners, and society
