Innovation for Promoting Occupation Skills to Sustainably Elevate The Grassroots Economy
Main Article Content
Abstract
Innovation is the use of knowledge or creativity in creating or changing new things that deliver benefits and values to a wider society. Innovation is like a mechanism that drives the economy and society by leaps and bounds, especially in the business and industrial sectors of the country. Therefore, it is seen as encouraging various manufacturing sectors to adopt innovations to adapt and drive economic growth widely, and it is this hope that will enable Thailand to overcome the middle income trap. In addition to the perspective of innovation in terms of economic development, sustainability can be achieved through the development of a strong social foundation. Ways to apply innovation to develop vocational skills to raise the grassroots economy sustainably include: 1) joining groups to develop learning in marketing, branding, public relations, and management by working together; 2) expanding the extension of existing community products in the area to lay an important foundation for the sustainable development of the grassroots economy; and 3) encouraging financial innovation to support funding sources for the community economy.
