Growth in Cross-Cultural Communication Skills
Cross-cultural communication abilities are becoming increasingly important as Thailand's economy gets further integrated into the global economy. Employers are increasingly looking for workers who can collaborate and communicate effectively in a variety of cultural contexts, especially when working with clients and teams from other countries. The demand for training courses that emphasize communication styles, foreign etiquette, and cultural awareness is rising. Thailand's status as a regional center for foreign investment and trade is what is driving this development. The Thailand soft skills training market growth is expanding as a result of Thai companies realizing the value of giving their employees the tools they need to function in a multicultural setting as a result of growing globalization. For instance, recently, ICESCO co-organized three Arabic language training sessions in Thailand. These sessions, aimed at teachers, academics, and diplomats, focused on Arabic language skills for international communication, teaching non-Arabic speakers, and modern strategies for Arabic language development. A total of 180 participants from various countries benefited from these sessions.
Focus on Emotional Intelligence and Adaptability
In Thailand, employee development programs typically emphasize emotional intelligence (EQ). Due to the continually evolving nature of the workplace—which includes the advent of remote work and automation—adaptability, empathy, and interpersonal skills are highly valued. Soft skills training, which enables workers to comprehend and control their emotions, collaborate well with others, and handle organizational change, is becoming increasingly important to businesses. These days, EQ training is thought to be crucial for raising customer satisfaction, workforce engagement, and leadership effectiveness. The need for training programs focused on emotional intelligence and adaptability is driving the expansion of the soft skills training market in Thailand as these abilities are becoming increasingly valuable in the workplace. For instance, in January 2025, Kenan Foundation Asia, in partnership with public and private sector organizations, hosted a conference to address Thailand's skills gap. The event, "Building AI and Green Skills for a Sustainable Workforce," focused on AI and green skills needed for Thailand's Vision 2030. Kenan’s new initiative, the "Mekong Green Skills Accelerator," aims to train 150,000 youth by 2030 in green sectors.
