Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has a two-year on the job training scheme in place that is meant for fresh qualified professionals such as engineers, drillers (mechanical engineering graduates), geoscientists (geologists & geophysicists), information technology and human resource professionals and business graduates, etc. The trainees are inducted in the company keeping in view their existing strength, company’s need and availability of resources required for their effective and meaningful practical training. The selection of trainees is based on competitive written test and series of interviews.
The two-year hands-on training provides trainees with a great opportunity to learn about the latest technology in their respective professions on the one hand and on the other it helps them integrate into PPL's business culture if they successfully complete their training and are offered regular employment in the company.
The aim of providing this comprehensive training is to equip the trainees with practical skills in their professions. They get valuable experience through working on state-of-the-art machinery, equipment and systems. At the same time, they get exposure to the petroleum exploration and production operations. We also provide them opportunities to develop their soft skills through teamwork that help them meet the professional challenges.
During the training line managers review trainees’ progress regularly and provide them opportunities to enhance their learning. PPL has a merit oriented culture and on successful completion of training, regular employment is offered to the trainees if:
· The trainee has acquired the required level of skills.
· The trainee’s performance justifies consideration for offering regular job in the company.
· A suitable regular position exists at the time.
Selection Criteria for Trainees
Engineering graduates having gone through a four-year degree programmme and others who have completed master’s degree in geosciences, information technology or management sciences are eligible for induction as trainees. Only recent graduates, from accredited local and foreign educational institutions, having first class academic record from Secondary School Certificate (or equivalent) to graduate / masters degree, whichever the case may be, up to the age of 27 years are eligible to apply. Whilst the academic results are important to us, equally important is candidates’ performance throughout the selection process.
The Selection Process
There are three stages for graduate selection as Trainees:
1. The Assessment Test
Here candidates’ academic knowledge, numerical skills, and general know-how are assessed. The test is usually of one hour duration and is divided in two parts:
a. General paper carrying 60 percent marks has Basic English and Mathematics together with questions that test the observation ability and IQ of the candidate.
b. Technical paper with 40 percent marks consists of basic and conceptual questions related to the professional field of the candidate.
2. The Application Form
On clearing the assessment test, candidates are short listed according to their test scores and those who come up to the company’s standard are called for interview. Before appearing for the interview, each candidate is required to fill out an application form carrying personal & family information, educational achievements, experience (if any) and other related information.
3. The Interview
Panel interviews are then conducted during which candidate’s academic achievements, challenges faced in carrying out specific assignments and personal qualities demonstrated in managing difficult situations etc. are discussed. Also, candidate’s technical know-how, confidence, mental alertness and ability to express ideas are assessed by the interview panel. As a two-way process, candidates are also provided an opportunity to ask questions they may have about the company and career development prospects. We give considerable importance to candidate’s extra curricular interests such as social/group interests, positions of leadership held during student life, pastime hobbies and involvement in sports. We use this information to assure ourselves that candidate’s university/college life has been more than just academic achievement.
