OKMD and Thammasat University Launch Free Creative E-Learning Courses
The Office of Knowledge Management and Development (OKMD) has partnered with Thammasat University to offer four free online courses focused on the Thai creative economy.
On September 16, 2026, the Office of Knowledge Management and Development (OKMD) announced a collaboration with Thammasat University to launch a series of e-learning courses aimed at the creative fashion industry. The initiative consists of four courses comprising 22 lessons, designed to help participants leverage Thai cultural assets for professional development.
According to Dr. Twarath Sutabutr, Director of OKMD, the curriculum follows a structured path: understanding cultural roots, creative production, intellectual property rights, and commercial marketing. The program is intended to provide practical skills that can be translated into sustainable careers and business opportunities, aligning with Thailand’s 13th National Economic and Social Development Plan.
For residents and those interested in the Thai creative sector, these courses offer a flexible way to gain professional insights into local design and branding. Participants who complete the lessons and pass the required assessments will receive an electronic certificate.
While the courses are currently available for free access, prospective students should note that the long-term impact on the local job market and the specific depth of the intellectual property modules remain to be seen. Further details regarding enrollment procedures and specific course start dates can be found through the official OKMD and Thammasat University platforms as reported by Khaosod Online.
