Bangkok — The Skills4Tech III project was officially launched at Chitralada Technology Institute on September 19, 2025. The initiative aims to enhance the skills of vocational students to align with the needs of future industries.
This year’s project is a collaboration between B.Grimm Power Public Company Limited, Chitralada Technology Institute, the Private Vocational Education Association of Thailand (PTEP), and the Kenan Foundation Asia.
Now entering its third year, Skills4Tech focuses on developing 21st-century competencies alongside green skills for vocational students. This is achieved by strengthening the capacity of Master Trainers to deliver STEM education through the integration of AI technologies, preparing students for a rapidly evolving world of work.
Mr. Kriangkrai Yooyeun, Executive Vice President – People Director at B.Grimm Power PCL stated: “At B.Grimm, we believe in Doing Business with Compassion—building prosperity for all through actions that uplift people and society. Education lies at the heart of this belief, as it is the foundation for a nation’s sustainable future.
We are proud to support this initiative that strengthens teachers’ capacity to deliver innovative and future-oriented technical lessons. The project represents a high-value investment in human capital development. Through enriched inquiry-based learning, integration of educational technologies, the application of AI in education, and the promotion of green skills and sustainability awareness, it serves as a powerful driver of skilled professionals and a sustainable future.
By investing in the professional growth of teachers and master trainers, this initiative creates a lasting impact—cultivating local expertise that can reach countless students over time and foster a ripple effect of improved educational practices for generations to come.”
Dr. Jarusri Jiravisitkul, Senior Manager of Education at Kenan Foundation Asia, added: “Our goal is to empower teachers to bring hands-on and inquiry-based learning into the classroom effectively. By integrating cutting-edge educational technologies with STEM and environmental skills, this project forms a vital foundation for building a workforce that is truly ready for the future.”
Key components of the project include:
- Enhancing the capacity of master trainers to teach STEM using AI
- Updating curricula to match industry demands
- Promoting digital and green skills among vocational students
- Expanding the network of vocational institutions to improve access and scale impact
As Chitralada Technology Institute positions itself as a national center of excellence, Skills4Tech III will serve as a model for real, scalable transformation in vocational education (TVET). The project supports Thailand’s shift toward a green economy and reflects Kenan Foundation Asia’s mission to empower people with the knowledge, technology, and skills necessary for a better future.
