Thai Union Recruits Next Generation of Leaders for Management Associate Program

BANGKOK – March 24, 2021 - Thai Union Group PCL is providing opportunities for the next generation of leaders as it recruits young and talented professionals for its 2021 Management Associate Program.

“It is perfectly designed for candidates looking for a work environment that challenges them to grow, whilst giving them opportunities to develop themselves within multiple business functions,” Panu said.
