Empowering young talents to take on business managerial roles

foodpanda Malaysia is inviting fresh graduates to join its pandaCUB management associate program for an accelerated career-building path within the company.

Online delivery service foodpanda Malaysia has announced the second intake of pandaCUB, a 2-year tailored program for fresh graduates to have an accelerated career-building path through on-job experiences for foodpanda Malaysia.

The rotation-based programme will offer young talents valuable growth opportunities through both challenging and rewarding on-job experiences.

foodpanda Malaysia head of people and culture Sukhveer Singh Ajay said they are always motivated and committed to introducing new programs to nurture young talents that come packed with fresh ideas and help keep the brand relevant in current times.

“We believe that the pandaCUB program is essential in growing our talent pipeline for the future and hope to continuously help others to develop personally and professionally,” he said.

The pandaCUB program would require fresh graduates to be the top of their class, both academically and socially, possess a Bachelor’s Degree in any field with a minimum CGPA of 3.2, and less than two years of working experience for strategic placements in the organisation.

The management associate program is structured with many performance levers, including critical projects, learning and development interventions, access to leadership, as well as regional and global collaborations. With the on-job experience, pandaCUBs would be able to sharpen their agility, resilience, and collaboration skills, which are crucial in today’s environment.

Throughout the 2-year period, pandaCUBs will undergo 6-month rotations across four different departments, allowing them to navigate and explore the complexities of their role and responsibilities, tackle challenges, and lead cross-functional projects.

Mentors and buddies will also be assigned to offer professional as well as personal developmental support, strengthen growth within the organisation, and overall accompany them on their journey.

Upon completion of the program, these pandaCUBs will be placed in a suitable, permanent role within a particular department.

Interested and qualified candidates should submit their CV alongside a video resume. Upon being shortlisted, candidates will undergo several online and virtual assessments and a final interview. Candidates who pass these assessments will be offered to join the panda family as part of the 2022 pandaCUB cohort.

The pandaCUB program began accepting applications on April 1, 2022 via LinkedIn, Hiredly and the foodpanda career website, with onboarding scheduled for August 2022.
