Why CA @ Nedbank

Here's what our trainees have to say

JD Symington, third-year trainee, placed first in QE 2, PPE 2010.
'I loved the freedom to structure your own rotations, I got the opportunity to build a network of contacts in Nedbank that will benefit me for years to come. The CA Training Programme never hesitated to invest in my development.'

Tracey Wicks, second-year trainee
'I was far more interested in kick-starting my career immediately, in particular being at the pinnacle of the changing and diverse finance industry from the beginning, as opposed to only being able to enter it after three years when I would most likely wish to travel, explore/see the world perhaps. The stability of Nedbank, its people and the fact that you have the freedom to choose the exact exposure and rotation you desire, is a perk, as well as being in this happening environment on a daily basis is an unbelievable opportunity. Wouldn't change it for the world.'

Zen Dedekind, third-year trainee
'... the chance to work in London as part of my articles as opposed to at the end, the global perspective adds loads of value to your professional training, and the chance to work on the dealing floor with the traders is a unique experience, to say the least. One that completely changed the way I look at the banking market as a whole. It is a programme where you have the ability to make or break your experience. If you want to get the most of your training, the opportunities will be in abundance. While if you wait for them to come to you, the best chances will go amiss.'

Zwelethu Masinga, second-year trainee
'I chose to do TOPP at Nedbank as I wanted to work for a company that would invest in me as I would in it, a company where there are opportunities for me to grow. I had been interviewed by other banks and Nedbank presented itself as a organisation that valued the individual, the employee, and I identified with the company.'

Farah Ballim, second-year trainee
'I didn't choose Nedbank, I had the privilege of them choosing me. Nedbank was always the company that I wanted to serve my articles at for the simple reason that their values mirror many of my own. Integrity, Respect and being People-centred. Over the past year and a half I have learnt so much about myself and am especially grateful that Nedbank allows me to live these findings every day, in addition to providing me with invaluable hands-on experience and many learning experiences in various areas. I could not have asked to do my articles at a more dynamic organisation. Yes, every company has their strengths and weaknesses, I just happen to be lucky enough to have found the right fit for me.'

Candace Stuhler, first-year trainee
'I could trust Nedbank with my education and future. Apart from work, I have made great new friends and we have so much fun together during all the functions arranged by the CA programme.'

Tiisetso Mngomezulu, first-year trainee
'In addition to being part of a welcoming and friendly family, I am also able to steer the course of my own career by choosing which rotations I would like to enter. In my six months at Nedbank, I have had so much fun working, learning and making friends. The atmosphere is one in which I am comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes and learn from them. The numerous programme events enable trainees to "social" outside the work environment and make real friends.'
