Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd 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. Now 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, it said.
This year, eight (8) 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. The Telco said 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.
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.
Digi’s CXO Apprentice Programme will have a young talent tagged to one of the eight Digi Chiefs (CXOs): Chief Executive Officer, Chief Finance Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Chief HR Officer, Chief Business Officer and Chief Digital Officer.
