This program shall empower Pakistani youth to seek better and brighter future for themselves.”
“We are also creating an alumni network for all the graduating batches of Triple~E, so that we stay connected with them, to see them growing in their careers and share updates about PTCL’s business operations, culture and matching job opportunities for them emerging in the future,” added Mazhar Hussain.
This year’s training included 198 learning sessions comprising of functional and soft skill trainings, nearly 600 individual live projects, more than 200 job rotations as well as regular feedback and career counseling sessions.
Owing to the high quality of talent groomed, PTCL has already offered a healthy percentage of the top performers an opportunity to work as full-time employees with PTCL. So far nearly 200 interns have secured employment during and after the completion of their internship tenure.
