Bangkok – March 3, 2022 – Applications are now open for the Thai Union Management Associate Program 2022. This three-year program provides Management Associates with a hands-on learning experience alongside senior executives from key departments including Sales and Marketing, Manufacturing, Digital Technology, and Human Resources. Applicants must have a Bachelor or Master’s degree, 0-3 years of working experience and be fluent in English.
“Thai Union has always put people development at its heart. Our Management Associate Program started in 2014 as a mission to develop the next generation of leaders,” said Kulshaan Singh, Group Director, Human Resources. “Our experienced management team and our global presence will let them experience various aspects of our business and across many departments and business units.”
Apisada Kitichalermkiat, a current Management Associate at Thai Union, said that Thai Union’s Management Associate Program has exposed her to every aspect of the business through job rotations, from manufacturing to the Global Innovation Center, and from operations to sales and marketing. “You will have a broad overview of TU’s business with hands-on experiences, coaching from senior leaders and executives to access and expand your capabilities. The program fits with those who seek challenges to unlock their potential and grow into the next generation of leaders.”
For Pongpanich Ekvisit, who joined the program last year, “this fast-track program can develop and unlock your potential through hands-on learning in a real-world business. The program not only provides us a great opportunity to gain skills and experience in many business aspects through job rotation, but also gives us a chance to work closely with executives, get assigned with work that requires high responsibility and has potential to create value for the Company. It also allows us to propose new innovative ideas and help drive impactful outcomes."
