About the programme

You're not like other trainees and we’re not like other training programmes. With the Nedbank CA Training Programme, you have the opportunity to tailor your rotations and adapt your articles to your desired career goals, while also having access to coaches and mentors to support your professional growth.

Furthermore, we place great value on the principles of leadership and transformation, which are firmly ingrained in our business culture, and encourage our trainees to participate in and avail themselves for events and seminars.

Join the Nedbank CA Training Programme, where you can make a purpose-driven impact. Train Differently. #BeTheDifference

For you to be a business leader, you need to find an area in the business that plays to your strengths, that you enjoy and that resonates with your purpose and career passions. It is against this backdrop that we allow our trainees the opportunity to influence their rotation path by rotating in areas that they indicate interest in. We do not pre-structure any trainees’ rotation path.

We empower our trainees to drive and lead their own career and follow a rotation path that aligns to their business and career aspirations. No two trainees follow the same rotation path, each is tailored with the trainees’ interest at heart.

The transition from being a student to being a professional may be a daunting and overwhelming experience for some. Banking bootcamp is there to make this transition as seamless as possible, while allowing incoming trainees to engage and get to know one another and programme management. It’s a month-long induction filled with activities and workshops that will sculpt you into the professional that you aspire to be.

There will be numerous workshops ranging from ethics training, resilience training, professional writing and many other topics that will get you bank-ready. Your development is our priority and banking bootcamp is one of the ways in which we develop our trainees.

The life of a working professional will have its challenges. You may sometimes feel as though you are going through something alone, especially since remote working is slowly becoming a norm and we don’t get to physically engage with our colleagues the way we used to. 

Who better to provide guidance as you manoeuvre through this journey than an experienced professional currently working within the bank?

 

Mentorship

From APC support to dedicated mentors and coaching circles, this episode explores the robust learning and development ecosystem at Nedbank.
