Digi is currently in search for digitally-savvy and innovative young Malaysians who want to be a part of its one-of-a-kind management trainee programme. In its fourth year, Digi CXO Apprentice programme is part of Digi’s commitment and ambition to build on the leadership pipeline for young talents in the country.
This year, eight more selected Apprentices will be paired with Digi’s Chief Officers (CXO) as their mentors, giving them the chance to experience first-hand exposure to high-level decision making and dealings with real business challenges. Under the guidance of their respective CXO mentors, the Apprentices will have the opportunity to work on high-impact projects across different business areas within the organisation.
This will challenge them to understand Digi’s strategy and purpose before executing with the freedom to innovate, explore new ideas, and learn every day.
“Besides CXO mentorship, the programme will expose the apprentices to an explorative, agile way of
working from the on-start of their career. I am happy to highlight that the exposure and experience
sought throughout 12-month as an Apprentice have helped to fast-track their career development.
Many of our apprentices from the previous three batches have gone to make waves within the
organisation by championing new ways of work, driving automation and improving processes in the
workplace,”Digi’s Chief Human Resource Officer, Elisabeth Melander Stene.
Upon graduating from the Apprentice Programme, apprentices move into key roles within the company. Year 1 CEO Apprentice, Wendy Liang, said her experience has helped her transition from the Consumer Sales team to Agile Marketing within a year, while Amanda Mariko Sakai (Year 2 CTO Apprentice) had the opportunity to learn and leverage from synergies between Digi and other Telenor business units in Thailand and Norway in the digital space.
That’s pretty impressive. And the search continues! Last week, 109 invitees including students, graduates and organization representatives, were at D’House to kick off Digi’s Year 4 CXO Apprentice Programme, which included a panel session with key leaders in Digi on navigating the workforce. The event wrapped up with an informal networking event with current and past apprentices in Digi over brunch.
