ST Agency Group Expands into Food Manufacturing Sector in Myanmar
In a significant development, the ST Agency Group has announced the launch of the 'Specialized Skill Examination for Food Manufacturing' in Myanmar. This strategic move aims to tackle the severe workforce shortage in the food production industry while maintaining their unique model of zero recruitment fees for candidates.
Historically, ST Agency has excelled in sectors like caregiving and food service, successfully placing talent in approximately 200 companies, including publicly-listed firms. Impressively, they boast a retention rate of under 1% for employees who leave within their first year, establishing them as a reliable source for human resources in the face of pressing labor shortages.
Key Highlights of the Announcement
- - The official commencement of the 'Specialized Skill Examination for Food Manufacturing' will enable local candidates to take the exam and enter this essential industry.
- - ST Agency continues its model of charging no introduction fees, starting recruitment for the food manufacturing sector by the end of the year.
- - With a proven track record of supporting 200 businesses and an outstanding retention rate, ST Agency is now venturing into this new frontier.
The CEO of ST Agency Group, Koki Yasuda, expressed enthusiasm about this development, noting, “Through a no-fee recruitment model and integrated education and support on the ground, we have previously supported around 200 companies mainly in the caregiving and hospitality sectors. The compatibility of Myanmar nationals with the food manufacturing sector has long been recognized; however, until now, the absence of local examinations in Myanmar limited our ability to introduce specialized talent. With this examination launch, we can finally offer our zero-fee employment services to the food manufacturing industry. We earnestly invite companies in this sector to consider our candidates, to alleviate their costs and address workforce shortages effectively.”
