Thailand launches Microsoft Elevate AI and Jobs national coalition
Thailand’s government, Microsoft and partner organisations announced the Microsoft Elevate AI and Jobs for Thailand coalition on 15 October. Its first phase is planned to run for about nine months, from October 2026 through June 2027.

The coalition brings together government, education and skills bodies, employers, the JobsDB by SEEK employment platform and civil-society groups. Initial work includes a workforce framework, credentials aligned with DigComp 2.2, practical activities and links to employment opportunities.
Microsoft says its programmes equipped more than 2.7 million people in Thailand with digital and AI skills over the previous two years. That is a company-reported past reach figure, not a job-placement result or target for the new coalition.
