Every year, Interloop Limited inducts fresh and aspiring graduates across various functions through its flagship Management Trainee Officers Program. The six-months on job training contract provides MTOs exposure to a variety of operational and strategic roles, creating enormous learning and grooming opportunities for the young appointees. A well-structured selection process includes general and subject-based written tests, and assessment centers comprising psychometric tests, case studies, E-try exercises, role play & group presentations. Keeping in view the COVID-19 pandemic, all assessments including final interviews were conducted virtually, leading to selection of the biggest ever batch of MTOs in Interloop’s history.
On October 21st, 2021, the Strategic HR/L&D team organized an onboarding ceremony to warmly welcome 82 graduates from all over Pakistan, including 39 females, who are 48% of the cohort, in the MTOs Batch 2021-22. Saira Taimur Khan – SGM Strategic HR, Humayun Javed Khan – GM Corporate Communication, and Imran Riaz – Sr. Manager OD/TM&L shared their valuable thoughts to inspire and motivate the young professionals. Following the ceremony, an extensive orientation session was arranged for the new MTOs in which they were briefed about the company and its operations, followed by tours of different functional areas and business divisions. On October 23rd, an away day with the theme “IN IT TO WIN IT” was conducted to socialize with each other, create bonding, and have an energizing start to take up learning opportunities for personal development.
Over the next six months, MTOs will undergo a planned learning and development pathway including extensive cross-functional training, department-specific projects, and assignments. Their final assessment will be conducted on project reports, presentation evaluation scores, competency-based scores, and overall behavior in the respective departments. As per company policy, successful MTOs will be offered permanent jobs, based on the results of their evaluation.
