On February 24, 1996, Thai Link held the Reverse Brain Drain activity, "Boston Job Fair" in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The event was higly successful. Twelve companies in hi-tech, business and education participated in this event. Approximately 570 resumes were received and 400 professional and students attended the fair. There are about 33% of professionals who have working experiences from 1-30 years. We accomplished our task in supporting the Reverse Brain Drain project of Thailand, thank to supports of participating companies, Thai government, Thai community and students. Although the job fair is over, the resumes are still continuously pouring in.

Due to the overwhelming success and the positive feedback from Thais abroad and organizations regarding the Reverse Brain Drain Project, Thai Link is pleased to extend our activities to Europe. We would like to encourage you to participate in expanding the linkage among Thais abroad and organizations in Thailand. Our goal is to bring Thais back home. This event is a place to provide Thai candidates suitable to organization's human resource needs and to provide students and professionals with career opportunities in Thailand. If you are a company which has business in Thailand, or plan to do business with Thailand, or would like to hire Thai professionals and students, this event will serve your company's need. If you are students or professionals who are interested in job opportunities in Thailand, come to discuss professional employment opportunites with employer representatives from private corporations, government and educational institutions.
