Abstract

This research aims to study on skills and competitiveness for poverty reduction in northeastern Thailand in order to improve the competitiveness of the Northeast and increase the quality of human resources with a use of ICT.The study found that students’ competency in using the IT tools was significantly lower than what is required by employers, which might be one of the major factors that has limited the opportunities for students in obtaining jobs in their local region, as was also indicated in the findings. A need to design a curriculum and teaching strategies that maintain students’ frequent use of computers and the Internet with a view to completing course assignments is urgent, when considering the relatively less frequent use of computers and the Internet reported by the students in the present survey.Furthermore, the training sessions, formulation of a virtual community that involves teachers in the Northeast region of Thailand is recommended.The community enables participating teachers to maintain and expand their knowledge and network after the training and give support in development of knowledge management (KM) contents, which would encourage them to improve the level of education in the region through the corporative projects.
