KARACHI: DP World Karachi has welcomed the second cohort of its ‘Grow Program’ for young, high-potential Pakistani graduates.
Starting in March, the group comprises 11 graduates (eight males and three females) who will embark on a comprehensive 18-month training and development journey, the company announced in a statement on Saturday.
DP World’s ‘Grow Program’ is designed to provide skills training and mentorship opportunities for graduates, equipping them to advance within the logistics industry and become future leaders. Building on the success of the first cohort, 19 graduates have been offered permanent roles, and DP World Karachi continues to recognise the importance of nurturing local talent.
CEO of DP World Karachi Junaid Zamir said, “We welcome the second intake of graduates for our ‘Grow Program’ as we remain committed to developing local talent and contributing to Pakistan’s logistics and trade growth.
These graduates represent the future of our business, and through this learning experience, we aim to equip them with the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to drive innovation and excellence within our operations.
This initiative also reflects our ongoing investment in Pakistan, ensuring that we build a sustainable and skilled workforce for the future.”
Trainees will undergo cross-functional rotations, working across various departments to develop a broad skill set and gain diverse business perspectives. The cohort will then be assigned
to their respective departments for on-the-job training, deepening their expertise in key areas such as engineering, human resources, procurement, IT, operations, health and safety, and marketing and communications.
In addition to practical experience, trainees will participate in regular mentorship sessions with senior leaders, gaining valuable insights into leadership, strategy and career development. This holistic approach ensures that graduates acquire the technical and managerial skills needed to excel in the logistics and maritime sectors.
