Delta Holding has completed the selection of candidates for the 9th generation of the Young Leaders programme
Sixty young people, all recent college graduates, who performed best in five rounds of testing, will begin a one-year paid training programme at the company in January. After 12 months, the best participants will be offered a job with the company.
Young Leaders is an employment and career development programme that Delta has been implementing since 2012. So far, a total of 23,000 people have applied for this programme, and the 235 best candidates have successfully completed one year of training. Today, more than 30 young leaders in Delta perform managerial duties.
“This programme is important for us as a method for boosting Delta’s team, but it is also important for the entire social community,” says Monika Pejčić, human resources director at Delta Holding and adds: “Creating 60 new jobs is our response to the crisis caused by Covid-19 and Delta’s contribution to preserving employment in Serbia. We are especially pleased with the direct growing influence of this programme young, educated and ambitious people deciding to stay in Serbia or to return to Serbia, and build their careers here. ”
Since the launch of the programme, Young Leaders have managed to retain a significant number of graduates in the country. The new 9th generation of programme participants consists of a large number of candidates who have returned to Serbia after completing their education abroad, at reputable foreign universities. As many as 15 of them completed their undergraduate or master’s studies abroad, and these are just some of universities they have graduated from – Truman State University, the USA; Tilburg University, The Netherlands; Stockholm University; the University of Ljubljana; Davidson College, the USA, Lindenwood University, the USA; Kendall College, the USA and others.
The next competition for the jubilee 10th generation of Delta Holding’s Young Leaders will take place in the autumn of 2021, the year in which Delta Holding celebrates its 30th anniversary.
