Coca-Cola EuroPacific Partners PNG continues to provide several opportunities for tertiary graduates, including the Graduate Development program, Apprenticeship program, and Internship Program. Over the years, CCEP PNG has implemented an Internship Program during mid-semester breaks and at the end of the school year to provide selected students with technical hands-on experience relevant to their degree of study. Adlyn Nagwi, Head of People & Culture, stated that this program allows university graduates to gain experience working for a leading beverage manufacturing company such as Coca-Cola. “The three-month internship program recently started in December of 2023 and enabled four students to be attached at our Lae and Port Moresby offices, where they were able to learn and acquire technical skills on the job that complimented theories they learnt back in schools’.” The candidates were selected from a pool for tertiary students and were from the University of Technology and the Pacific Adventist University. “We believe that any opportunity we can provide to students that have graduated from any tertiary institution will assist in their growth as they pursue further employment, and this is continue to be an ongoing commitment from our business to build young talents”.
