Short-course training
Energy Transition Workforce Skills Program
SMR
CLEAN HEAT
HYDROGEN
Background and Rationale
As Thailand advances its energy transition and industrial decarbonization efforts, there is a growing need for skilled professionals capable of evaluating and deploying emerging low-carbon energy technologies. In addition to expanding renewable electricity, technologies such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), clean heat systems, and hydrogen are increasingly recognized as important options for providing reliable power, decarbonizing industrial heat, and supporting hard-to-abate sectors.
However, the successful and responsible adoption of these technologies requires multidisciplinary expertise spanning engineering, safety, economics, and policy. This training program aims to strengthen workforce capacity across industry, utilities, regulatory agencies, and policymaking institutions, enabling informed decision-making and supporting the safe and economically viable deployment of these technologies in Thailand’s energy transition.
