Amir Ejaz, an MBA student at the School of Business and Economics, University of Management and Technology, Lahore, recently won a scholarship at Munster University International Model United Nations (MUIMUN). The conference is the biggest Model United Nation Conference in Germany with a gathering of more than 250 students from around the globe. Through diplomacy and negotiation, Model UN students seek ways that the world community can deal with complex global concerns such as the environment, economic development, refugees, AIDS, conflict resolution, disarmament and human rights.  Students learn to understand global relations and the possibilities they have to help improve and transform the world into a better one. They assume the roles of ambassadors to the United Nations and debate current issues on the UN's agenda. Each ambassador represents a country other than his or her country of origin.

This year’s scholars came from Pakistan, Bangla Desh, India, Costa Rica and South Africa. Amir participated in the Security Council proceedings and represented the United States. He won the “Best Delegate Award”. In honor of this achievement, the Pakistani national anthem was played at the concluding ceremony of this Premier International Conference.

Telenor Pakistan has selected UMT as one of the nine universities in Pakistan for an On-Campus Management Trainee Program (OCMT) that has been initiated to bridge the gap between academic learning and real world corporate sector requirements. The OCMT is part of ‘Shaping the Professionals of Tomorrow’ program aimed at imparting corporate learning through a project-based approach. Other components of the program include Telenor Pakistan's Ambassador Program, career management works, scholarships, and radio shows. It is worth mentioning that UMT students have already completed Telenor Career Management workshop held earlier.

Under this agreement, Telenor Pakistan will select students representing all disciplines at UMT for their OCMT Program. The students will work on projects covering research, project execution, market knowledge and its impact on business, event planning, creative management, team-building, operation management and market forecasting. They will compete with students of other universities on the basis of their skills, knowledge, grooming and professional competence. The top five competitors of the OCMT Program will be hired as permanent employees of Telenor Pakistan while the winner will be sent to the Telenor Head Office in Norway for the final one week internship. The winner will also receive a cash prize of Rs 300,000. The top three contestants will receive one hundred percent scholarships.
