SCG offers overseas internship programme to AEC university students

.
This year's Internship Program will have 41 selected participants from five Asean countries take part in a one-month internship in Bangkok, Thailand. Ten students will be selected from Myanmar.
The program allows students to enhance their professional knowledge and learn skills through best practices in a dynamic and international work environment in order to develop themselves in preparation for the Asean Economic Community (AEC).
Students who participate in the program will not only improve their work competencies and reap the benefits of working in a cross-cultural environment; they will also learn about SCG’s business philosophy, good corporate governance and sustainable development, which has led the Group to achieve business sustainability over the past 100 years.
“The SCG International Internship Program is one of SCG’s human resources strategies to prepare for the coming AEC, which aims to create a pool of talent for future business expansion in Asean. The program was established in 2013, and it is with great honour that we open the program to more students from Myanmar this year,” said Kiti Madiloggovit, Corporate Human Resources Director of SCG.
"Myanmar is a key growth market for SCG, and we are delighted to offer development opportunities for Myanmar's next generation,” he added.
The program is open to Myanmar third-year university students and students pursuing Master’s degrees with a major in or related to Engineering (Mining, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Automation and Control, Chemical, Industrial, Environmental Engineering), Business (Business Administration, Finance, Marketing), Social Science (Psychology, Political Science, Social Studies, Economics) and Law.
Applicants should have a good command of English and must be able to participate in the program in Thailand from June 15 to July 14. Airfare and accommodation costs will be covered, and there will be a daily allowance provided for the duration of the program. There will also be a certificate of completion given to each participant.
"The internship was one of the greatest things that happened in my student life. It was a valuable opportunity for learning and professional development," said Ei Ei Thu, a participant in 2014. "I met so many wonderful people while gaining real workplace experience and learning about SCG's products, customer relationships, customer service, digital marketing and e-commerce, which helped improve my competencies and my future career path."
Students will have the opportunity to learn soft skills, such as presentation and teamwork through specialised training and practical projects. Participants are each paired with a senior mentor from SCG, who provides advice and guidance, as well as one-on-one support. The nature of the program allows students to engage with professionals and other participants with diverse backgrounds from across Asean. Students will also visit SCG’s plants across Thailand.
