DE Ministry expands digital community centres to boost skills

Nationwide training for ‘IT Man’ officers

Wethang Puangsup, Secretary-General of the National Board of Digital Economy and Society Office (BDE), said that alongside infrastructure, the ministry prioritises developing local digital talent.

A key part of this strategy is the deployment of 878 “district-level digital officers,” known as IT Man, in every district across Thailand. These officers act as the link between state digital policies and local communities, supporting people in acquiring digital skills, accessing government services, and improving quality of life.

Through the combined network of officers and digital community centres, the DE Ministry aims to ensure that people in all areas can keep pace with technological change and fully benefit from the digital economy.
