The Asian Federation of Advertising Associations (AFAA), of which Advertising Council of India (a division of STACA Trust) is a member, had commissioned a unique initiative in 2013 called Fast Track Professional Excellence Programme. It is targeted at young professionals from the advertising, marketing and media industry. This year the three-day specialized training programme will be held in Malaysia from April 17-19, 2015.

In its third year now, the Fast Track Professional Excellence Programme was designed with an aim to support the up and coming stars of the industry in their career growth. It empowers young professionals (below 35 years and with at least five years of work experience) with the necessary skills to excel in their respective professions. This year, too, The Standing Committee on Advertising (STACA) will be sponsoring around 4-6 young professionals for this programme.
