About the programme
The Nedbank Quants Graduate Programme offers exceptional quantitative and capital risk management exposure through bank-wide rotation opportunities over a two-year graduate experience.
The programme is an environment that enables your success through the support and access to coaching and mentorship.
Furthermore, we place great value on the principles of leadership and transformation, which are firmly ingrained in our culture. Through the programme, our graduates are exposed to leadership opportunities and participate in driving the strategic direction of the programme.

- What’s in it for you
- Hear from our alumni and current grads
- Smart with heart
Tailor Made rotations: 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.
Individually tailored rotations
Tailor your rotations - your way
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.
Banking bootcamp
The ultimate grad induction.
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
Mentorship and coaching support that matters
Our trainees are given the opportunity to lead and manage programme related aspects such as the recruitment processes for the programme and CASE,
marketing the programme through various different channels, and coordinating social events for the programme. These events take place all year round and are a great way to ensure that the trainees stay in touch even while they are all in their separate rotations.
Programme involvement plays a huge role in our trainees’ professional development and exposes them to valuable skills such as project management, budgeting, leadership and time management.
Programme involvement
Lead, speak and grow beyond the desk with Programme Involvement.
At Nedbank, we are deeply committed to the growth and success of our trainees. As part of our dedication to nurturing young talent and fostering professional development, we offer a comprehensive bursary program designed to support our trainees in furthering their studies in fields they are passionate about whilst completing their articles with us.
Bursary
From bursaries to LinkedIn Learning, grads share their journeys in this episode on how Nedbank’s development platforms helped them grow. Learn how the Quant Competency Framework and sustainability studies support long-term success.
A day in the life of a quant.

In this episode, we explore the transition from university to banking - and how diverse STEM backgrounds, from engineering to statistics, find their place in the world of finance. Hear first-hand how alumni applied their academic skills in real-world banking environments.
At Nedbank we use our financial expertise to do good for the communities we live and work in. As part of developing global business leaders, we believe in cultivating leaders who are #SmartwithHeart. Corporate Social Responsibility is a great opportunity for us as a Programme to leverage on our resources and make a difference in the lives of those in our communities and country. As a trainee, you would have an opportunity to lead, plan and execute on our various CSR initiatives.

A word from our programme's alumni
“QEP was an incredible opportunity to experience the Nedbank corporate culture which aligned well with my own values and skill sets. Working on interesting and challenging real world banking problems gave me first-hand experience of the Quants role in the bank all whilst engaging meaningfully with trainees and managers, building relationships and improving my skills. Attending the QEP was an incredible experience which allowed me to gain a unique insight into Nedbank, defining my career path.”
– Adam Bresler, Graduate Quantitative Analyst
“I gained so many relationships that I was able to leverage. I also learnt what it means to be a quant and if that job was for me. I also enjoyed the hands on help from the graduates and their compassion and feedback.”
– Maxine Khumalo, Graduate Quantitative Analyst
“My favourite part about QEP was the incredible experience I gained in such a short space of time. When I attended QEP, I had just finished my third year of studying and I was confused about what to do next. After a few days of collaborating with other students and learning from senior quants in the bank, I left the programme with invaluable networking skills and a broader knowledge on the quant world. I knew then that the quant industry was the best way to utilise and expand my skill set. I am so grateful to everyone who inspired me during the programme and I hope that we can inspire you too!”
– Jenna Duffy, Graduate Quantitative Analyst
