This active recruitment, or the “Project on Recruiting Talent Graduates to Join Civil Service”, will attract more high-capacity undergraduate students in Thailand to work for civil services. The Project is under the collaboration with the Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University, who explored points of view of concerned people for the preparation of targeted government offices and of personnel selected for scholarships, in accordance with the project plan in 2010 Fiscal Year.
