FTCC Event: Upskilling & Reskilling of the Workforce — Pathways for Thai Industry

Date: Wednesday, 29 April 2026
Time: 8:00 AM – 10:30 AM (ICT, UTC+7)
Venue: Le Méridien Bangkok
Language: English
Organised by: Franco-Thai Chamber of Commerce (FTCC) — HR & Strategy Committee

Overview

As Thailand navigates the twin pressures of an ageing population and a widening skills gap, businesses across sectors are facing an urgent need to future-proof their workforce. The Franco-Thai Chamber of Commerce (FTCC), through its HR & Strategy Committee, is hosting a dedicated morning session to address one of the most pressing challenges in Thai industry today: how to effectively upskill and reskill employees — and what support the Thai government actually provides.

This event brings together HR professionals, business leaders, and chamber of commerce representatives for an open and practical discussion on workforce development. Attendees will gain a clearer picture of the government programmes and institutional resources available to Thai companies, and how to navigate them effectively.

Why This Matters

Many organisations in Thailand are already feeling the strain: roles are evolving faster than talent pipelines can keep up, salaries are rising while productivity gaps persist, and retraining staff at scale remains a logistical and financial challenge. At the same time, a range of government-backed schemes exists — yet awareness and accessibility remain low among private sector employers.

This session is designed to bridge that gap.

What to Expect

  • A candid exploration of real business challenges around workforce development in Thailand
  • An overview of Thai government programmes supporting upskilling and reskilling initiatives
  • Insights into how companies can access certifications, training subsidies, and productivity-aligned support
  • Practical pathways to help businesses align workforce capabilities with industry demands

Who Should Attend

This event is particularly relevant for:

  • HR Managers seeking structured frameworks for employee development
  • Managing Directors and Business Leaders looking to align workforce strategy with operational growth
  • Representatives from Chambers of Commerce with an interest in regional workforce policy
  • Any professional involved in talent management, L&D, or organisational development in Thailand
