CTC’S management trainee programme begins 2013 intake
View(s):Ceylon Tobacco Company’s acclaimed International Management Trainee Programme is once again, beginning its annual search for Sri Lanka’s brightest young minds, to train into international management professionals.
The programme has over the years, attracted many participants and its two-year process has resulted in producing some of the organisation’s top management personnel. The programme, which will commence in September, follows the same global standards set out by its parent company, British American Tobacco (BAT), and is one of the few MT programmes that also include the opportunity of international work exposure for the trainees.

The programme gives the participants a thorough understanding of how it is to work on a global scale and produce results that would be accepted regardless of which country they are based in. CTC’s culture is based on BAT’s global employer brand philosophy of the organisation: “Bring Your Difference”, which encourages employees to preserve their individuality and add their difference to the company’s workings. The company believes in different people bringing their unique skills together in a dynamic work environment, to produce great results, and graduates from all around the country are encouraged to apply – as long as they meet the basic criteria of having a good work ethic, great leadership skills,
commitment and have excelled in their chosen field of tertiary study.
CTC’s Human Resources Director, Samanmali Chandrasiri, once an MT herself, 10 years ago, commenting on the progress of the programme, said: “What has shaped the programme into the success it is today, is the exclusivity of entrance into it. Right at the start, through the careful and challenging, interview process, we determine who will succeed and be able to make the most of this opportunity. Induction into the programme is function-specific. The trainee will apply into their desired function to specialise in and from there on, we set a career development path that will see them graduate, ready to become managers after 2 years’.
The CTC MT Programme opens for applications on 07th July, and applicants could apply via www.bat-careers.com
