STEM One-Stop Service: STEMPlus Workforce Requirement Notification Project

     STEMPlus is an information system designed by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation (MHESI) to serve as a medium for connecting the needs of entrepreneurs, graduates, students, and members of the general public who are interested in developing their skills and competencies to create career options for themselves. It also links the curriculum and expertise from the higher education sector, which leads to cooperation in the development of workforce and research and development that supports the Thai industry to be competitive in the global arena. This includes attractive services for entrepreneurs, individuals, or students and training units.

     There are also statistics on expertise and production capacity from the education sector, personnel skills requirements for target industries (Future Skills Set), and benefits related to personnel development, employment, highly skilled personnel, and cooperation with the education sector. Workforce requirements through STEMPlus require the development of personnel in the organization and the workforce for the future.

     The Ministry of Interior has a STEM One-Stop Service (OSS) that is responsible for coordinating the creation of people or research and development that meet the needs and that support the employment of highly skilled personnel, according to the Thailand Plus Package.

     Manpower requirements through STEMPlus include recruiting new employees, developing employee skills, recruiting interns, managing education with the higher education sector to build the manpower to meet the needs of organizations or industry groups, developing research projects, and establishing specialized training centers. In addition, STEM OSS is responsible for coordinating the needs and facilitating the application of benefits from government support programs (if any).
