Thirty-six Access Bank staff return from training

Access Bank Ghana has welcomed its latest batch of young banking trainees from the Access Bank School of Banking Excellence in Lagos, Nigeria.

The trainees, 36, were selected from across the country’s top universities to undergo a four-month rigorous training in all the banking disciplines as they prepare to begin their banking careers. 

The graduates are expected to take up various roles within the bank and will be posted to various departments such as Marketing, Global Trade, Retail operations, Customer Experience, Information Technology among other areas. 

Welcoming the graduates, the Managing Director, Mr Dolapo Ogundimu, urged the young trainees to pursue ‘continuous learning’, which is one of the bank’s core values.

He said, “We have partnered the leading universities across the country to develop promising talents for the industry, which we believe will help in reducing the perennial deficit in meeting human capital needs. Through our banking operations, we are also creating an environment where everyone aspires to be the best in line with our vision to become the most respected bank”. 

He added that the bank’s approach to employee development was a mix of different learning methods ranging from self-study, on-the-job training to e-learning programmes and employees on a continuous basis are exposed to various capacity-building programmes both locally and internationally.
