June 13, 2024

Shopee’s newest graduate program offers experiential learning with on-ground e-commerce exposure

To harness the power of the Philippines’ e-commerce revolution and amplify its impact on the country’s economy, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) puts a priority on the establishment of infrastructure, systems, and processes to help achieve seamless and efficient supply chains, and further encourage digital adoption.

As a critical player in the industry, leading e-commerce platform Shopee Philippines underscores the importance of investing in human capital to encourage operational innovations and support DTI’s e-commerce vision. The platform recently opened applications to the Future Operations Leader Program (FLP), its newest graduate program that provides on-ground cross-functional work experiences to fresh graduates and young professionals.

“With Shopee’s industry expertise, we are in a favorable position to serve as an incubator for operations leaders. Designed to develop the skills and potential of aspiring operations innovators, effective communicators, solution-centered thinkers, and resilient future leaders, the Future Operations Leader Program aims to nurture the next generation of operational leaders through hands-on training to understand e-commerce logistics and fulfillment fully,” said Karen Perez, Head of HR Center for Excellence at Shopee Philippines.

Recent graduates and young professionals with three years of experience or less are eligible to apply to the two-year FLP. For a holistic immersion in the e-commerce operations process, FLP associates will be given ownership of operations targets and meaningful projects and experience on-ground rotations in the warehouse, sorting center, and hubs nationwide. They are also assigned a manager, buddy, and mentor to help guide them throughout their professional journey at Shopee.

To join the FLP program, applicants must go through a four-step process that starts with an online assessment and continues through a series of interviews. Mobility and the capacity to be assigned to different locations across the country are required among applicants.

Shopee is also hosting an FLP Open House Webinar on 19 June 2024 at 6:00 PM PST to shed light on important details about the program. The webinar will also be a venue for invited speakers to share exciting career opportunities and career advice with attendees. Attendees can book their slot at bit.ly/ShopeeFLPOpenHouse.
