Application for Digi apprenticeship open
DIGI Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi) is calling for digitally-savvy and innovative young Malaysians to join its annual CXO Apprentice Programme.
The programme, now in its fifth year, is designed to inspire the next generation of leaders by empowering them with an opportunity to be mentored directly by Chief Officers (CXOs), while working at a leading and progressive digital company.
A handful of young Malaysians will be selected for a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity to be tagged as an apprentice to one of Digi’s eight CXOs for a year, namely the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief technology officer, chief marketing officer, chief business officer, chief corporate affairs officer, chief human resource officer and chief digital officer.
Throughout the programme, the apprentices will get to shadow and be mentored by the CXOs, having front-row seats to high-level decision-making.
Along with it will be plenty of opportunities to participate in high-impact projects across different business areas, providing them an accelerated journey of learning and personal growth, as well as an in-depth understanding of Digi’s purpose, strategy and way of work.
Upon completion of the programme, the apprentices can look forward to getting a placement within the company based on their interests, skills and expertise.
Digi’s Chief Human Resource Officer, Elisabeth Stene said: “Beyond the mentorship, the apprentices will also get to experience hands-on how a digital game-changer like Digi practises agile ways of working and cultivating a customer-obsessed culture that drives us to continuously innovate, as we enhance and shape the digital experiences of millions of Malaysians every day.”
Apprentices will be selected via a robust digital-based assessment process, including the first virtual assessment centre.
The new virtual assessment tools are designed to incorporate elements of teamwork and competition to bring out different strengths of the candidates, while also giving them the platform to showcase what they can do independently.
The comprehensive assessment process aims to evaluate a candidate’s interpersonal skills, personality and cognitive abilities, which will then help the recruiters in assigning them to the right mentor and projects based on their strengths.
A minimum CGPA score is not a requirement for this programme as Digi values strengths in other experiences such as extracurricular activities that contribute to shaping well-rounded competencies and personalities.
Applications are now open and will close on June 7.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in a comprehensive online assessment and in live video interviews between June and July.
The apprentices will be selected by the end of July and begin apprenticeship in September.
The apprenticeship is open to Malaysian final year university students completing their final semester with a bachelor’s degree, or fresh graduates who have worked for less than a year from any background.
