Mr. Sitthikorn Direksuntorn, Director and General Manager of Thai Credit Guarantee Corporation (TCG), and Mr. Richard Bernhard, Executive Director of Kenan Foundation Asia, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the project aimed at developing the potential of the elderly for sustainable growth. The signing ceremony, witnessed by Mr. Piyabutr Chonvijarn, President, Dr. Vichai Limpitikranon, Senior Manager of Business and Economic Development at Kenan Foundation Asia, Ms. Dusida Thapwong, Senior Deputy General Manager of Channel Management and Entrepreneur Development at TCG, and Ms. Pakamas Sajjapong, Senior Director of Customer Promotion and Entrepreneur Development at TCG, took place at TCG on May 30, 2024.

The SMEs Financial Advisory Center (TCG F.A. Center) and Kenan Foundation Asia recognize that Thai society is moving towards an aging society. Many seniors, even though retired, are capable individuals with work experience. Providing them with new financial and digital marketing knowledge will enable these senior professionals to continue their careers, reducing financial burdens on their families and society. TCG F.A. Center and Kenan Foundation Asia have therefore initiated a program to enhance financial and digital marketing knowledge, thereby increasing loan accessibility for quality senior entrepreneurs. The program aims to train over 400 senior entrepreneurs, focusing on building fundamental financial and digital marketing knowledge for the elderly, with all training provided free of charge.

This collaboration aims to support the government’s policy to promote and develop entrepreneurs across all sectors, creating career opportunities that prepare citizens for a suitable and sustainable life.
