MOL Group has launched the 2014 version of its successful international graduate program 'Freshhh'. This program offers student groups from various universities and colleges of the world including Pakistan to win 20,000 Euros along with a possible career.
'Freshhh' is one of the biggest international competitions in the oil and gas industry which is being organised by MOL Group since 2007. The program aims to attract and develop new talents within the operation of the company and making young people, one of the strongest pillars of the group.
In the last seven years, 10,000 students with 3,500 teams from 250 universities in 70 countries competed within the frames of the program. Many of them are now successful employees of MOL Group all over the world.
Zdravka Demeter Bubalo, Human Resource VP of MOL Group while explaining the salient features of 'Freshhh' said, "Last year we had a record number of applicants, with over 2,600 students forming 887 teams from over 60 countries participating in the competition. This year, our aim is to beat this record."
"MOL Group's future success lies in the hands of young people who can bring creativity, fresh ideas and new perspectives to the Group, so continuously investing resources in developing top talents is the best decision we can make", Bubalo added.
The competition consists of three rounds where entrants have to compete in a virtual scenario through the internet by solving industrial and strategic tasks developed by MOL Group. The best 40 teams from the first round have a chance to qualify for the Strategy. Simulation round: where they face gas station simulation and have to make proper decisions based on careful market analysis.
