Management Trainee Program (MTP) 

In Wearnes, we recognise that the development of our next generation leaders is a key and foremost imperative to ensure the continuous success of the organisation. It is with this imperative in mind that we conceived the Management Trainee Program (MTP).

Program Overview

Objective

To groom a pool of management potentials who are competent in their area of expertise, role models of Wearnes values and who would be future ‘organisation anchors’ to contribute to the various businesses and functions.

Structure & Duration

MTP is a 12-month long program in which Management Trainees (MTs) are rotated to different areas within a business division/unit or corporate function to perform specific tasks and responsibilities. The rotation would give MTs the width of experience and exposure to help them understand their niche and how they would want to advance their careers in Wearnes.

Key Development Areas

Given our clear objective to groom management potentials, MTs will be developed through training courses, coaching and other interventions in the following areas, which we deemed as important for a Wearnes Leader and Manager.

• Wearnes values and culture
• Business division and corporate function specific knowledge
• Leadership and management skills
• Communication and interpersonal skills

Assessment

MTs will be evaluated on their performance at the end of every assignment and is required to complete an end-of-program project.

Support

We aim to help MTs to succeed by providing a comprehensive support network of Supervisor, Mentor and HR Business Partner, each playing a specific role in shaping MTs’ learning and growth in the program.

High-performing Management Trainees can look forward to a permanent placement within the organisation in a role with managerial responsibilities upon graduation from the program.
