"Major Development" reinforces its strength in delivering housing and Best in Class services by partnering with PIM-Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University to cultivate a new generation of professionals while upskilling the real estate management team, aiming to address the quality talent shortage in the condo and high-rise market due to rapid growth.

Ms. Nata Kittakarn, Deputy CEO of Major Development Public Company Limited, a leader in luxury real estate development and pet-friendly residences, stated that due to the commitment to delivering both condominium and housing projects, as well as Best in Class after-sales services, the company has moved forward to collaborate with two leading educational institutions in property management: PIM and Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University to jointly develop a building management curriculum, exchange knowledge and personnel, and nurture quality seeds in building management for the country.

"Currently, the housing market is rapidly growing, especially in condominiums and office buildings, resulting in a significant increase in demand for quality personnel in property management. There is a trend of insufficient numbers to meet the needs of modern property management. The collaboration between experienced private sectors and educational institutions with relevant curricula and personnel will be a crucial step in alleviating this issue," Ms. Nata said.

Both Major Development and the two educational institutions will work together to enhance the quality of teaching and prepare new youth to become professional personnel in the field, accepting students for practical internships with MDPC Expertise Meets Excellence, a comprehensive real estate service expert, creating opportunities for learning from real work experiences while also promoting employment for students after graduation with the Major Development Group.

Ms. Nata further stated that in addition to developing new youth, the company is also creating collaborations to develop curricula that enhance the knowledge of current personnel or upskill existing employees to promote learning and develop new skills in response to the changing demands of building management and modern building users. Recently, various e-learning courses have been developed, such as building resource management, space management in modern building business, safety management, and building control, allowing current employees to learn and develop knowledge through online channels.

The real estate market is continuously improving in line with the economic recovery. In the first half of 2022, 33,776 new condominium units were launched, accounting for 63.3% of the total new residential units of 55,360, a proportion close to the period before the COVID-19 outbreak (2018). It is expected that there will be over 77,728 new housing and condominium projects launched throughout the year, while the office building market is also experiencing growth, with predictions that in the second half of 2022, over 306,000 square meters of new office space will be completed and opened, leading to a total office supply exceeding 10 million square meters in 2023.

With the growth direction of the real estate and office building markets, the demand for building management personnel is increasing correspondingly. Students enrolled in this curriculum will not only gain theoretical knowledge in the classroom but will also learn practical skills from hands-on experience with professional building management experts closely in every step and every department, ensuring they have a true understanding of all work processes. In the future, these students will become key personnel with high quality and efficiency in the building management field that the market needs.
