This research aims to develop and evaluate learning innovations within a digital learning ecosystem to promote entrepreneurial intentions and skills among diverse target groups, including the unemployed, farmers, the elderly, and families seeking income generation. The study's objectives are to develop digital learning innovations, assess their impact on entrepreneurial intentions and skills, and examine learning participation. Utilizing technologies like ZOOM and LINE, along with community libraries, the research supports the Next Normal transition with modern teaching media covering at least 10 occupations in Bangkok and local agencies. The mixed-method study, involving an initial 100 participants with plans for expansion to thousands of unemployed and 8,930 elderly individuals, collaborates with vocational training schools and local agencies. Key findings reveal excellent ratings for the developed innovations (mean 4.51, S.D. 0.43), high satisfaction with occupational media (mean 4.82, S.D. 0.41), and increased entrepreneurial intentions among participants. This research contributes to sustainable career development, enhances reading skills, and promotes self-development, ultimately benefiting both individuals and the nation through innovative learning approaches in the digital ecosystem.
