Supporting employees’ children to excel in life, and grow in knowledge and skills, INSEE Cement, the country’s leading cement manufacturer, conducted ‘Find Your Spark’, an interactive virtual career guidance program recently.

The objective of the program was to equip the children of employees with the right knowledge and skills to grow their talent, choose their future career wisely and achieve their best. The program was held for the second consecutive year by the company despite challenging times.

The program included a series of workshops conducted by a panel of renowned professionals, whom the children could look-up to as role models. An insightful panel discussion was also conducted helping the children to explore different career paths. Leading professionals elaborated their experiences.

The session also educated the participants on the wide range of vocational education options available.

The children of our employees are important to us as much as we value all our employees. To show our commitment to their growth, this program will provide a solid foundation for future successes. We are appreciative of everyone including internal and external facilitators for contributing towards the success of this program.”
