Welcoming the participants, Acting AIT President Prof. Worsak
Kanok-Nukulchai remarked that AIT students are ideal candidates for the
workspace since they study in a unique international environment.
“There are no foreign students in AIT, since every student enjoys the
same rights and privileges,” Prof. Worsak remarked. He mentioned that
while Thailand is attracting a large share of projects, Thai companies
are also expanding in the region, particularly in Myanmar. He hoped
that the recruiting companies would be able to select the best
candidates who will emerge as leaders in the future. He mentioned that
earlier AIT students used to join the government and rise to positions
of managing directors and ministers, today, students join the private
sector and become CEOs of major companies.
Prof. Louis Gabor Hornyak, Director, Center for Learning, Innovation
and Quality (CLIQ) stressed AIT’s internationality and diversity. Ms.
Joan Carla Gonzales, Coordinator, Career Center and Student Affairs,
mentioned that 18 companies were participating in the Career Fair for
the first time. Ms. Saeng Srisopaporn, President, AIT Student Union
thanked the companies for their participation. Later, the Acting
President Prof. Worsak, honored representatives of all participating
companies.
