Mr. Pramote Tiasuwan, Managing Director – Production and Chairman of the Bilateral Vocational Education Program, delivered an inspiring message during the ceremony:

The program integrates academic learning with practical training to ensure students meet industry standards and are prepared for employment in the field.
A student representative shared heartfelt words of appreciation during the event:
“Thank you, Pranda, for believing in us and giving us this opportunity. You cared for us like family, and we’re proud of every piece of jewelry we’ve helped create.”
As part of its long-standing commitment to education and skill development, Pranda continues to invest in the next generation of artisans—empowering them to thrive, while contributing to the sustainable growth of Thailand’s gem and jewelry industry.
