I have always been curious about the Tobacco industry and how it markets itself given the extreme regulatory challenges it faces. When JTI offered me that opportunity, there was no turning back.
JTI has a nurturing culture. I can perform to the best of my abilities because the company has an open policy that allows me to walk up to just about anyone to seek advice and feedback whenever I am in doubt. Team JTI has cultivated a strong sense of “esprit de corps”. This is probably due to its strict hiring and cultural policies that ensure the right
individuals are put in place to contribute to the development and growth of the company.
JTI takes its employees’ career seriously. I feel that JTI takes a long-term view on my tenure with the firm. JTI is outstanding in this aspect, putting their money where their mouth is, investing in its people.
I am proud to be a JTI ambassador.
Li Ting WANG - JUMP Management Trainee, JTI TaiwanUpon graduation, I was looking for positions that would fit my academic background and allow me to develop internationally. Fortunately, I was offered a role in JTI Taiwan as a JUMP management trainee which allows me to work in cross functional teams within the Asia region.
During my assignment in Taiwan, I had the opportunity to work with Key Accounts, General Trade and HORECA teams which helped me gain a holistic view of our channel management.
I participated in special projects that gave me hands on experience as well as opportunity to contribute. I recommended steps to improve operational efficiencies and identify opportunities for new product development. Thus far, my experience with JTI is definitely fulfilling and beyond my expectations. JTI provides opportunities for employees to develop their long-term career, both locally and globally.
