Graduate Trainee under Young Talent program
The Robi Young talent program was developed in line with Axiata’s vision to be the regional mobile champion by 2015. The objective of the program is to develop talents to be the leaders for tomorrow in each country’s operations.

Axiata’s vision is to be a regional champion by 2015 by piecing together the best throughout the region in connectivity, innovation and world class talents, uniting them towards a single goal: “Advancing Asia”.
Our Graduate Trainee under Young Talent Program (YTP) is one such initiative to groom future leaders. It offers Bangladeshi graduates from leading universities across the globe, the opportunity to develop into future leaders for the company and country as well through employment. Our objective is to develop the youth of today into leaders of tomorrow by developing functional and leadership competencies, giving global exposure and accelerating career path.
