From waking up before dawn to collect fruits from the supplier, I now have more time for my child, and I no longer have to endure the same exhaustion as before."  — Khun Aoy, former fruit vendor, now a certified nursing assistant.

At Generation Thailand, what we offer goes far beyond simply "providing jobs." We are dedicated to creating pathways to meaningful careers—roles that are well-paid, secure, and offer long-term stability. These careers represent real opportunities to transform lives.

Today, the Thai workforce faces a critical and growing gap between existing skill sets and the rapidly evolving demands of the global job market. Generation Thailand is committed to bridging this divide through intensive, short-term bootcamps co-designed with industry leaders. Our programs empower learners with practical, job-ready skills, essential workplace competencies, and direct pathways to employment in high-growth sectors such as technology, healthcare, and the green economy (like electric vehicles).

Our Impact at a Glance:

●      Over 553 learners trained and empowered since 2021.

●      79% secured employment within just six months of graduation.

●      78% achieved a sustainable living wage within one year.

Your donation is a catalyst for change. It unlocks opportunities for underserved individuals—enabling them to master in-demand skills, secure meaningful employment, and build a foundation of financial stability for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Our impact is made possible through robust partnerships across the public sector, private industry, and civil society, all working together to build an inclusive future of work.

Social issues

Today, "rising unemployment" is no longer just a media headline—it is a daily reality affecting countless lives across Thailand. The faces behind these statistics are dealing with immense, everyday pressures:

●      Recent graduates are struggling to enter the workforce, often finding themselves jobless while already weighed down by the heavy burden of family debts they did not create.

●      Mid-career individuals are facing unexpected layoffs. They are forced to urgently scramble for new employment while shouldering the intense dual responsibility of caring for young children and aging parents at the same time.

●      Displaced workers from various sectors are desperately trying to start over in a hyper-competitive labor market that is evolving faster than ever before.

The core issue holding these individuals back is not a lack of potential, resilience, or ambition. It is a critical mismatch between their existing skills and current market demands. Currently, there is a severe lack of systemic support to bridge the gap between a person's desperate desire for a "second chance" and their actual ability to secure sustainable employment. Without intervention, this widening skills gap will only continue to deepen economic inequality across Thai society.

Your donation will help:

●      Support the cost of training in in-demand skills

●      Provide dedicated career coaches and mentors

●      Create access to employer networks

●      Enable underserved learners to participate without financial burden

When one person secures a job,
 The impact extends far beyond the individual—
 reaching families, communities, and the broader Thai economy.

Because investing in one life
 creates momentum for an entire society.


Learner Stories

Khun Khanun – Software Development Program (Cohort 1)

Once a delivery rider, Khanun faced daily physical risks on the road just to make ends meet. Through our short-term tech bootcamp, he safely transitioned into the digital economy in a matter of months.

Today, he works as a Software Quality Assurance, earning a higher, more reliable income without putting his life at risk every day.


Khun Woody – EV Charging & Solar Installation Program (Cohort

Formerly an air-conditioning technician, Woody struggled with an unpredictable income that made it difficult to support his family. His work lacked stability and offered little room for upward mobility. Gaining access to our EV sector training became his "second chance."

Today, he holds a full-time position in EV after-sales service, earning a stable income while building expertise in clean energy—one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.

Approaches to addressing issues

  1. Our ultimate goal is not just graduation; it is employment, financial independence, and sustainable income. We achieve this by: 1. Conducting industry needs assessments to identify in-demand skills and co-design our curricula with employers. 2. Delivering short-term bootcamps that prepare talent for high-demand careers in today’s job market. Our Core Programs Include: ● Junior Software Developer (JSD): Equipping learners with the coding and technical skills needed to launch a career in the tech industry. ● EV Charger & Solar Installer Professional (EV-CSIP): Training highly-skilled specialists in electric vehicle charging infrastructure and solar energy systems. ● EV Sales Advisor (EV-SA): Preparing professionals for high-demand, client-facing roles in the booming electric vehicle sector.

  2. Our Impact We have created new opportunities for hundreds of individuals through our short-term bootcamps: ● 553 graduates have completed Generation Thailand programs since 2021 ● 79% secured employment within 6 months of graduation ● 78% of alumni in Thailand earn a living wage within 1 year We invite you to be part of this transformation. Together, we can close the skills gap, reduce inequality, and give those facing hardship the chance to start again—with hope, dignity, and a clear path toward a better life.
