A central commitment of the initiative is to strengthen the capacity of TVET institutions, educators, and leaders to navigate and lead digital and green transformation. Our capacity-building programmes combine professional development, institutional innovation pilots, and inclusive reskilling initiatives across Thailand and the ASEAN region.

Professional Development for Educators and Institutional Leaders

The initiative’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Hub delivers workshops, seminars, and blended learning programmes for TVET educators and institutional managers, targeting 800 educators over the programme period. Programmes are delivered through partner institutions under the Office of the Vocational Education Commission (OVEC) and the Association of Private TVET Institutions under Royal Patronage.

Core areas include:

• Integrating digital and green competencies into vocational curricula
• AI-enabled pedagogy and technology-enhanced instruction
• Institutional governance for sustainability
• Gender-responsive and inclusive teaching practices

Institutional Innovation Pilots

Working with 5–8 selected TVET institutions under OVEC, the initiative will implement pilots in:

• Curriculum greening — embedding environmental competencies into existing vocational qualifications across the service sector, engineering, logistics, construction, and agriculture
• Digital transformation — supporting institutions in adopting AI-enabled learning platforms and data-driven management systems

Pilot results will be documented as case studies and incorporated into the initiative’s global research compendium.

Reskilling for Ageing Workers

In collaboration with Save the Children Thailand and Kenan Foundation Asia, targeted reskilling programmes will be co-designed for adults aged 45 and above working in sectors undergoing green transition — including logistics, construction, and agriculture — to be piloted in Year 2 and scaled in Years 3–4.

Women and Girls in STEM and Green Sectors

Initiatives supporting the participation of women and girls in STEM, digital, and green sectors will be coordinated with the ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children (ACWC), the initiative’s gender advisor Asst. Prof. Dr. Prapaporn Tivayanond Mongkhonvanit. Participation targets will be disaggregated and reported annually.

Open Access to Learning

Through the Intelligent OER Center, all capacity-building content will be made available as open-access digital modules — translated into Thai, Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Indonesia, and Vietnamese — and designed using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to ensure full accessibility for learners with disabilities, low-literacy users, and ageing workers.

Micro-credential pathways for educators and learners will be mapped to the ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework (AQRF) and aligned with national qualifications frameworks in Thailand and Malaysia, facilitating formal recognition of professional development achievements.
