Telenor’s corporate responsibility report
I, THE ENGINEER
The company was the general sponsor of the
first of a kind technological event for young
engineers in Sofia: “I, the Engineer”. Leading
Bulgarian technology companies joined ef-
forts to support the professional development
of young people in the country. Within a one-
day event high-school and university students
and technology fans had the opportunity to
meet engineers, inventors and business peo-
ple and to learn about their work and the pros-
pects within the profession. Every company
had a workshop and an info desk where they
presented their activities and invited visitors to
join in solving problems and business cases.
Our network renovation program provided
career opportunities to 10 young people who
joined the company and supported our largest
investment of time, resources, and efforts for
2014.
MANAGER FOR A DAY
Our CEO Stein-Erik Vellan gave a personal
welcome to 5 young people, who spent a day
at the company HQ, as part of
initiative “Manager for a Day”.
The participants went through a special in-
duction program which familiarized them with
the Telenor corporate culture, history, orga-
nizational and portfolio structure. The youth
met some of the most experienced compa-
ny professionals and managers in the fields
of law, trade and finance who shared details
about their responsibilities and challenges
at work. During the meetings the participants
were able to share their thoughts and ask their
questions. In the end, the participants were
awarded a special certificate.
