Nedbank, one of South Africa’s leading financial institutions, offers this program to individuals who demonstrate exceptional academic performance, strong leadership potential, and a keen interest in pursuing a career in accounting and finance.
The program provides participants with comprehensive training and practical experience across various aspects of banking and financial services. Trainees undergo a structured learning curriculum that covers accounting principles, financial analysis, risk management, regulatory compliance, and other relevant areas within the banking sector.
As part of the program, participants are exposed to real-world scenarios and hands-on projects, allowing them to apply their theoretical knowledge in practical settings. They also receive mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals within Nedbank, enabling them to develop their skills and competencies in a supportive environment.

Nedbank Chartered Accountant Training Program Involvement
The 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.
Banking Bootcamp
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.

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.

You will be allocated a mentor that will be there to guide you and hopefully make the journey a happy one.
