The programme will empower Pakistani youth to seek better and brighter future for themselves." "We are also creating an alumni network for all graduating batches of Triple~E programme, so that we stay connected with them, to see them growing in their careers and share updates about the PTCL's business operations, culture and matching job opportunities for them emerging in the future," he added.
