A ‘career’ is one of the most exciting journeys a person will take in their life. It’s full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and the great unknown often lies ahead. However, we can maintain some control over this journey by making the right decisions.
One of the biggest decisions facing both fresh graduates and those established in the workforce is whether to Start-up one’s own business or Climb the Corporate ladder.
With this in mind, AustCham Thailand and the Australian Alumni have set up a panel of successful entrepreneurs on both the Start-up and Corporate side, who will provide insights into their career choices, the opportunities they took, and the challenges they faced.
The Audience will have the opportunity to ask questions from the panelist both in the meeting and at the networking session that follows.
If you’re looking for inspiration, guidance and/or affirmation on your career choices, this event will be beneficial for you.
