August 29, 2022, Yangon – ATOM launches an innovative skill development training program called the Technology Trainee Program (TTP) for youths from IT and Technology backgrounds in Myanmar on August 29. The duration of this training program is one year, and it aims to contribute to the local community by upgrading the skillsets of the youth, making them more industry-ready as they prepare for their future careers.

Since the TTP’s objective is to level up the skills and abilities of the youth in Myanmar, fresh-graduates, senior university students, and entry-level professionals (with about 2 years of experience) are encouraged to join this program. In this training program, participants will learn the latest technical skills, IT-related professional skills, and even the work culture of Myanmar’s leading telecom operator, ATOM. 

“Digital and augmented reality has become part of our way of life and is bound to stay for the future. As such, the demand for digital skills is increasing globally, and Myanmar is also no exception. In line with ATOM’s culture and values (People First, Advanced Digitalization, and A Responsible Brand), we are committed and determined to groom and nurture young Myanmar talents through the Technology Trainee Program to develop and enhance their digital skillsets – which in turn will contribute to socio-economic and cultural development. This opportunity is pivotal for those who are eager to upgrade their skills, which no doubt will help pave the youth’s career path to beyond better,” said Kyaw Min Thein, Chief Human Resources Officer of ATOM.

During the training, the participants will meet ATOM’s proficiently experienced colleagues and have the chance to closely learn from them while working on assignments and projects within a team or individually. The participants will be able to showcase their progress and work through quarterly presentations. Before completion, there will be a final evaluation where successful participants will be provided with a certificate of completion. Outstanding participants will have a chance to become full-time employees at ATOM.

ATOM conducted this Technology Trainee Program (TTP) as part of its commitment to support Myanmar’s business ecosystem, with a strong focus on small-to-medium enterprises and the “creator economy” value chain. Through the program, ATOM will be producing young IT professionals for the Myanmar workforce and making them industry-ready for highly competitive workplaces both morally and skillfully.

ATOM will announce this program via its LinkedIn page and those who want to join this talent program can apply directly through LinkedIn or send their resume and cover letter to trainee@atom.com.mm. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview to proceed further. ATOM will select (8) candidates and they will join the one-year long TTP program.

We believe good-moral and accomplished professionals are key players in building a country’s healthy business ecosystem. ATOM is committed to producing skillful workers through this Technology Trainee Program (TTP) while preparing the youth for any challenges that they might face in their future careers.
