Their responsibilities will include helping citizens access government digital services and monitoring the use of community digital centres.

 

They will also play a key role in delivering training to locals on digital economy skills, using existing platforms like the Cyber Community Thailand (CCT) application and the government’s “Learn to Earn” e-learning platform.

 

Prasert said the project is a crucial step towards building a strong digital foundation for the country’s youth. He also noted that the officers will help improve Media and Information Literacy (MIL), which is expected to reduce the spread of fake news and other online threats.

 

To prepare them for their new roles, the new hires will undergo five foundational workshops across the country, starting in Chiang Mai this week and continuing in Khon Kaen (August 27–29), Bangkok (September 1–3), Ubon Ratchathani (September 3–5), and Nakhon Si Thammarat (September 8–10).
