Conicle Launches Skills Platform to Address Thailand's Workforce Gap

Thailand's workplace is entering a critical turning point as a "skills mismatch" crisis threatens to worsen over the next 3–5 years. Five key factors are accelerating this crisis: AI technology rapidly obsoleting traditional skills, businesses and foreign investors slowing investment due to inadequate workforce readiness, education systems failing to keep pace with AI-era labor markets, working-age people shouldering greater family responsibilities amid an aging society and shrinking workforce, and widening skills gaps that limit employment opportunities. Research from the Adult Skills Assessment in Thailand (ASAT) indicates the country faces a projected revenue loss of 3.3 trillion baht—or 20.1% of GDP in 2024—because workers lack skills aligned with economic demand. Without systemic workforce skill upgrades across all sectors, this crisis will balloon into a competitive disadvantage that undermines Thailand's future.
To address this crisis, Conicle, a leader in comprehensive skills development and learning solutions, is unveiling "Conicle Skills," a comprehensive platform designed to transform organizations into Skills-Based Organizations that focus on workers' actual capabilities rather than job titles. The platform aims to create workforce flexibility, allowing employees to transition between roles and apply new skills to navigate rapid change. The company emphasizes that "people are an organization's first button," meaning continuous learning and skill development are essential for workplace readiness.
Nakorn Pruekkhipattana, CEO and co-founder of Conicle, revealed that Conicle Skills goes beyond traditional Learning Management and Learning Experience platforms by integrating AI into a "Skills + AI + Ecosystem" framework. The platform uses AI to transform learning from the traditional Knowledge–Attitude–Skills (10%–20%–70%) model into accelerated skills creation for a skills-driven workforce. It combines skill development pathways with curricula from leading institutions and expert creators, all backed by state-approved standards.
