“I congratulate the graduating batch and wish them good luck in their professional careers. Moreover, I would like to wholeheartedly welcome the new batch and encourage them to pursue their dreams with enthusiasm and passion,” PTCL and Ufone Group chief human resource officer Syed Mazhar Hussain said.

“I have always believed that great companies are a reflection of their people. When you have talented people in your company with the right culture and right discipline, they can move mountains,” he added.

An event was organised in Islamabad to welcome the new batch and bid farewell to the graduating batch. PTCL and Ufone president and group chief executive officer Hatem Bamatraf along with the top management attended the event.

PTCL launched the FUEL programme in 2013 to prepare the next generation of leaders to assume important organisational responsibilities and so far over 100 employees from various functions have been trained thoroughly.

However, this year Ufone is also participating in the programme that will provide a learning opportunity for mid-level professionals within the company.

FUEL is feedback-intensive and transformative in nature that helps the employees in acquiring a clear perspective on their career path and future.
