The leading online delivery service, foodpanda Malaysia today announced the second intake of pandaCUB, a 2-year program for fresh graduates to have an accelerated career-building path within foodpanda Malaysia. This rotation based programme will offer young talents valuable growth opportunities through both challenging and rewarding on-job experiences.
Commenting on this initiative, Sukhveer Singh Ajay, Head of People and Culture, foodpanda Malaysia said, “As a market leader in the q-commerce space, we are always motivated and committed to introducing new programs that are able to nurture young talent, bring in fresh ideas and help the brand stay relevant with current times. We believe that the pandaCUB program is essential in growing our talent pipeline for the future and hope to continuously help others to develop personally and professionally.”
The pandaCUB program would require fresh graduates to be the top of their class, both academically and socially, possess a Bachelor’s Degree in any field with a minimum CGPA of 3.2, and less than two years of working experience for strategic placements in the organisation. The program is structured with many performance levers, including critical projects, learning and development interventions, access to leadership, as well as regional and global collaborations. With this on-job experience, pandaCUBs would be able to sharpen their agility, resilience, and collaboration skills, which are crucial in today’s environment.
Throughout the 2-year period, pandaCUBs will undergo 6-month rotations across 4 different departments, allowing them to navigate and explore the complexities of their role and responsibilities, tackle challenges, and lead cross-functional projects. Mentors and buddies will also be assigned to offer professional as well as personal developmental support, strengthen growth within the organisation, and overall accompany them on their journey. Upon completion of the program, these pandaCUBs will be placed in a suitable, permanent role within a particular department.
Interested candidates will need to submit their CV alongside a video resume with their application. Upon being shortlisted, these candidates will then undergo several online and virtual assessments and a final interview, before ultimately receiving an offer to join the panda family as part of the 2022 pandaCUB cohort. The pandaCUB program began accepting applications on 1 April 2022 via LinkedIn, Hiredly and the foodpanda career website, with onboarding scheduled for August 2022.
