Ufone recently concluded the second spell of its Summer Internship
Programme (SIP) by organizing a Recognition and Graduation Ceremony 2013
in Islamabad.
The internship that continued for a period of 6-8 weeks; has provided
the opportunity to around 84 students from major universities in North,
Central and South – cities including Islamabad, Swabi, Lahore, and
Karachi.
This year Ufone ran a series of campus drives throughout the country
covering top 20 universities whereby the campus drive entailed online
assessment and interviews for selection of quality candidates.
Ufone did not only treat this event as the conclusion of SIP 2013 but
also as the initiation of SIP 2014. A good majority of the key
stakeholders including faculty members of NUST (NBS, EME, SEECS),
Bahria, QAU, CASE, FAST and Szabist have attended the event. Ufone HR
team exchanged views and feedback with them for improving the strategy
for SIP 2014.
Speaking at the occasion, Moqeem Ul Haque, Chief Strategy Officer,
Ufone said “The Summer Internship Program is all about identifying and
nurturing talent by providing them the opportunity to ‘Take a SIP of the
future’. Ufone is not only about hiring the toppers; we believe in
hiring well-rounded resources who have not only excelled at their
studies but are in congruence with the core values of Ufone.”
“Such events help bridge the gap between the academia and industry,
proving a platform for the students to excel through the mentoring of
trained professionals”, said Rear Admiral Saleem Akhtar HI (M), Bahria
University Pro – Rector/DG Islamabad Campus.
On exchanging his views about the Ufone SIP, Muhammad Sami Saddiq
from NBS stated, “My primary goal consisted of the pursuit of continuous
improvement and the desire to strive for excellence. I believe that
Ufone is an exceedingly reputable organization and getting to work with a
world class company like Ufone will be a huge benefit to me when applying for jobs. I don’t think I would have had better exposure anywhere else.”
Many of the students had actually proved that they really are capable
enough to work in a modest environment. A few names to be mentioned are
Muhammad Sami Siddiq from NBS, Saadia Qamar from SEECS, Mehwish Ehsan
from QAU, Maria Qadir from CASE, Ammama Furrukh Gill from Nust EME,
Zainab Khan from NBS and Zara Nasim Pirzada from IoBM.
Best interns from each department were awarded certificates, shields,
giveaways which also included latest handset with a personalized
postpaid number. The rest of the interns received certificates and
giveaways to admire their contributions. The faculty was also
acknowledged by presenting shields and giveaways. HR at Ufone has worked
extensively to setup an entire system of intern management, along with
identifying any high potential students that may be considered for
future roles within the Organization.
