The discussion was moderated by Assoc.Prof.Dr. Paritud Bhandhubanyong, Independent Scholar.

Highlighting 3 Core Pillars for Career Success The seminar concluded with a crucial consensus: the metallurgy and materials science industries remain the indispensable foundation for all sectors, but professionals must adapt quickly. This adaptation notably requires equipping themselves with two significant global trends: DX (Digital Transformation) and GX (Green Transformation), in response to the demand for clean energy and sustainable technology.

Beyond the requirement for deep fundamental knowledge, the experts emphasized essential life skills: an Entrepreneurial Mindset and the ability to "sell." This includes understanding economics and accounting alongside engineering decisions. Furthermore, the most vital trait for a "metallurgist" is resilience, toughness, and endurance ("อึด ถึก ทน"), and an unwavering spirit in the face of real-world challenges.

Thai Parkerizing Co., Ltd. recognizes the importance of connecting the industrial sector with educational institutions to foster quality personnel prepared for future changes. Therefore, the company continuously supports such activities as part of its commitment to sustainably driving Thailand's metallurgy and materials industry forward.
