ABSA’s Internship Programme’s Schemes
ABSA has two different internship programme schemes, which names are Graduate Programme and Rising Eagles Graduate Programme. Overall, Rising Eagle Graduate Programme’s scheme is more centred towards idea-generating programmes, while the regular 12- to 18-month Graduate Programme’s scheme has more emphasis on building practical skills and work experiences with mentors’ guidance according to the interns’ selected business units.
Aside from the idea-generation itself, the Rising Eagle Graduate Programme’s interns will have opportunities to connect with the interns’ alumni as well as other influential people, including ABSA’s Forbes-ranked CEO and its award-winning Data and Product Alchemists. These entire networks will help them to further push their business knowledge to a more internationalised level.
The Rising Eagle Graduate Programme’s interns will also gain accesses to Rise, which belongs to ABSA’s global innovation hub. As a result, the Rising Eagle Graduate Programme will produce proactive graduates who can leave positive marks for the whole African continents.
On the other hand, the regular Graduate Programme’s schemes in South Africa, Tanzania, Mozambique, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Botswana, Zambia, Mauritius and the Seychelles will lay out foundations in being the country’s future leaders in its various business areas, such as Retail and Business, Banking, Human Resources, and Financial Management, as mentioned in its Graduate Opportunities’ main portal.
Leaders in ABSA’s entire management levels will keep the Graduate Programme interns motivated and inspired as they receive continual mentor sessions to achieve their career successes. In the end, the Graduate Programme’s interns will help in shaping ABSA’s future as well as gain fulfilling and rewarding career of their own preferences.
