He stated, “Our discussions with industry leaders have highlighted the demand for young professionals who possess both business acumen and specialized expertise in data and technology. The PGP YL program is designed to transform fresh graduates and entry-level professionals into exceptional problem solvers and innovators ready for the workplace.”
