JazzWorld Inducts 100 Young Professionals Into Its AI Associate Program 2026
JazzWorld has inducted 100 young professionals into its AI Associate Program 2026, building a new generation of AI leaders as the company accelerates its transformation into an AI-native organization. Selected through a rigorous nationwide recruitment process, the associates will apply AI to real business challenges and help strengthen AI capability across JazzWorld.
The Year-Long Program
The year-long program will see associates work across functions including fintech, cybersecurity, data science, software development, and digital platforms, among other areas. They will identify AI use cases, improve productivity, and solve real business challenges through hands-on experience, structured learning, and mentorship.
Kaan Terzioglu, Group CEO of VEON, shared his vision:
"The companies that lead in the AI era will combine technology with exceptional human talent. Pakistan’s young population represents an extraordinary opportunity, and these 100 associates are here not simply to learn about AI, but to apply it and build digital solutions that improve millions of lives. Developing this talent is fundamental to VEON’s ambition to build AI-native digital operators across our markets."
Aamir Ibrahim, CEO of JazzWorld, expressed his ambitions:
"Our ambition is to move from AI-enabled to AI-first and ultimately AI-native, where AI becomes part of how we work, compete, and build. That transformation is as much about people as technology. By reskilling our workforce and bringing in young talent to apply AI to real problems, we want to develop leaders who can drive change across JazzWorld and help shape Pakistan’s digital future."
Tazeen Shahid, Chief People Officer of JazzWorld, highlighted the selection criteria:
"We selected these associates not only for their credentials but for their curiosity, adaptability, and willingness to keep learning. Our responsibility now is to give them meaningful work, strong mentorship, and the freedom to learn by doing, developing the talent JazzWorld and Pakistan’s digital economy will need in the years ahead."
Through the AI Associate Program, JazzWorld is bringing new talent into its broader AI transformation while continuing to build capability across its existing workforce. The focus is on making AI an increasingly integral part of how teams work, solve problems, and build products and services for millions of customers.
