New Delhi: Cairn Oil and Gas, the petroleum arm of London-listed metals and mining major Vedanta announced it has recruited over 150 students from Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institute of Management (IIMs) through its campus hiring program.
The campus recruitment of over 150 students is a significant jump as compared to average recruitment of 25 engineering and management graduates hired every year, the company said in a release issued today.
The recruitment was done under the campus hiring programme of the company named Barrels of Learning Per Day (BOLD). According to the release, BOLD allows young recruits to experience various technical and management functions for two years, before they graduate to dedicated functional and technical roles.
These carefully designed rotations enable a steady growth of leadership pipeline for technical, operating and enabling functions. Every
recruit in the program is assigned a senior mentor who provides much-needed anchorage and helps the person assimilate with people and teams all across, it said. The two years of on-the-job functional learning is complemented with a suite of training and development interventions to develop rounded and high potential oil and gas professionals.
“As Cairn marches ahead with this ambitious plan, it will increasingly need diverse and skilled workforce of engineers, geologists, technicians, commercial and leadership talent. Its ability to hire young talent from national campuses reinforces its stature as an Employer of Choice for young potential recruits and also reaffirms its commitment to deliver on nation’s pressing priorities as India cruises towards energy self-independence,” Cairn Oil and Gas said.
According to the company, this year’s campus drive focused on improving diversity ratio across gender, nationalities and geographies in the company.
