US Apparel & Textiles welcomes ‘future leaders’

06/09/2022
Lahore-based denim manufacturer US Apparel & Textiles has launched Talent 2.0, a management traineeship programme specially tailored to students seeking to join the industry after graduating from local universities. 

The company described the flagship initiative as a way to “future-proof” the next generation of its workforce through inclusive educational activities and first-hand industry exposure, all of which it hopes will help to instil a greater appreciation for sustainability, it said. 

Participants were invited to join the learning and development scheme, which includes a seven-day induction period and English-language assessment, based on their performance over a series of tests. The producer’s senior manager for talent acquisition and development, Lubna Taimoor, called them “future leaders” whom US Apparel & Textiles ultimately seeks to retain over the long-term.
