MOL Pakistan promotes local talent through annual trainee program

Through this annual program, 20 fresh graduates, with minimum experience, holding degrees and diplomas in a range of disciplines including Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), Management, and Social Sciences are encouraged to apply. While program aims to promote local talent in the company’s areas of operation, the 2023 program specifically focuses on talent from District Hangu.

With total of 1,600 applications, the selection process is currently under way. For most applicants, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that offers practical hands- on skill application and development through valuable training and field experience. Indeed, this type of experience and exposure with a multinational corporation (MNC) of this magnitude is something that most burgeoning professionals from District Hangu can only hope and dream of, especially when living in some of the most rural and remote parts of the country.

MOL Pakistan developed and implemented this on-the-job-training program to help build the skills of qualifying local residents, enabling them to become more employable when entering the job-market. Such initiatives are part and parcel of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of the company that seeks to improve the social welfare and wellbeing of communities located in MOL Pakistan’s areas of operation.

MOL Pakistan, a fully owned subsidiary of MOL Group, has been operating in the country since 1999. The exploration and production company has a long history of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Tal Block. Mr. Ali Murtaza Abbas, MOL Group Regional Vice President for Middle East, Africa, and Pakistan, stated that, “MOL Group is a responsible corporate citizen that prioritizes the social welfare of local communities wherever we operate globally. We are proud of our efforts to help develop local Pakistani talent and look forward to seeing these young adults grow and develop into capable professionals.”
