BANGKOK, 20 March 2015 – Labor Minister General Surasak Karnjanarat has laid a foundation stone for a new skill development building.
The new building, which belongs to the Department of Skill Development, serves as a comprehensive center for people wishing to improve their vocational skills. It will provide such services as vocational training, skill enhancement training and certification.
Once completed, the building will house different agencies under the Department of Skill Development to enable those bodies to work more closely and systematically. The top floor will function as the meeting hall with a fully-equipped audio visual room. The ground floor will consist of a large parking lot and a multi-purpose area.
General Surasak said that the launch of this building was aimed at boosting Thai laborers’ skills in preparation for the emergence of ASEAN Economic Community, adding that development of productivity and quality of Thai laborers would be the key to the country’s competitiveness in the global arena.
