As a “Protege” they were paired with an experienced mentor who will provide them with guidance and support to navigate their career journey. The following program was pulled out on all stops. It gave out a new light of perspective to shine in both the real and corporate world. The following program offered a range of activities to help build the skills including:

1. Email & CV Writing
2. Personal Branding & Interview
3. Presentation
4. Insights about the Big Case Competition

In addition to these activities, the program offered a number of other resources to help one succeed in their career. This included career talks about corporate and multinational companies as well as workshops and webinars to help one stay up to date on the latest industry trends and best practices. The following activities were designed to help with good networking opportunities to help one build connections and open doors in the career.

The following candidates were reviewed, screened, shortlisted and selected by the current IEOM Panel 5.0. It was a step-by-step recruitment process:

1. Online Registration
2. Aptitude Test
3. Final Interview

70+ people registered online. Among them top 30 were selected based on their answers. Later on, an aptitude test was conducted, and finally after the final interview that took place “13” made the list. The “13” were coined as “Proteges”.

Now, the very first session was conducted by our very own Assistant Professor, Mr. Rezaul Karim Nayeem on “Email & CV Writing”. The session was very interactive. Both the Protege and a group of panel members learned a lot from that day. He advised that all must prepare a CV and have a LinkedIn profile as well.
