Inspiring more women to become leaders.
The Women in Banking (WIB) Internship Program is suited for young females who are interested in experiential learning and mentoring opportunities by senior female professionals within the Bank. Beyond the valuable work experience that interns stand to gain, a major purpose of the program is to facilitate mentoring relationships so that experienced mentors can share advice, knowledge and experiences with mentees, resulting in a mutually beneficial professional development relationship.
This program is also designed to assist mentees with employment opportunities through job search coaching, free resources and internship opportunities.
Eligible candidates are undergraduate students and graduates (Pre – NYSC) of a recognized university with a minimum CGPA of 3.5/5.0 or 5.0/7.0. Previous experience in women advocacy and/or leadership will be an advantage.
