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
The Nedbank CA Training Programme is trainee-centred and values-driven, offering a unique opportunity to trainees for taking ownership of their development journey and creating a platform to be the difference that impacts our world.
The programme is unique in that trainees can choose their own rotations, aligning their exposure to their career goals and maximising their chances of fulfilling their potential. The programme caters for those who already know where they want to go, while also providing room for trainees to explore different areas of the bank in pursuit of finding where their interests lie.
The programme affords trainees opportunities to be at the forefront of strategic decisions around marketing, recruitment, and social events. Through trainee-driven committees and management support, trainees lead and provide support for all programme initiatives, exposing them to professional skills including project management, events management and public speaking – all of which are invaluable in becoming a well-rounded CA.
The Nedbank CA Training Programme – it’s not only the best way to do your three years of articles, but also the best way to make a difference!
