CTC in collaboration with Commercial Bank of Ceylon and John Keells Holdings (JKH) PLC spearheaded the sixth consecutive year of the renowned internship programme ‘Fast Track 15’ (FT15). Launched in 2010, the programme provides 15 undergraduates with a unique internship opportunity at all three conglomerates spanning over six weeks.

“Similar to the wider British American Tobacco network, CTC has partnered and implemented several initiatives that has supported the Company in attracting the right talent and further positioning themselves as a great place to work. I commend the incredible work done by CTC together with these leading conglomerates to make the programme a success year on year,” remarked Sanzid Ahmed, Area Head of Human Resources - South Asia Area of British American Tobacco.

The FT15 internship has grown as one of the most recognised programmes in corporate Sri Lanka which attracts both locally and internationally qualified undergraduates, giving them the opportunity to experience local corporate culture and corporate life.

Commenting on this collaboration, CTC’s Head of Human Resources, Aruna Dissanayaka said: “A significant aspect of attracting the right talent is our strategic engagement in programmes that support the growth and development of people and their diverse strengths. Our partnership with leading conglomerates for FT15 for the sixth consecutive year symbolises our commitment in this regard and I am excited to witness the outcome of yet another year of the programme.”
