Through facilitated thought leadership sessions, immersive project-based trainings, customised coaching, and mentorship sessions covering both tech and non-tech focused fields like engineering, product management, operations, marketing, finance, and human resources, among others, the initiative seeks to empower thousands of aspiring and early-stage professionals. The project, which will begin this March, will take a phased approach for various application groups.
Before moving on to a customised Intermediate Program that would target specialised talent across specific roles, the Basic Program will set the tone for numerous areas of interest and present chances to eligible members of the public. The third step will end in the Advanced Programme meant to equip and shortlist exceptional applicants who may ultimately be integrated into Interswitch’s staff.
Fundamentally, Interswitch’s steadfast dedication to developing talent and encouraging innovation within the tech ecosystem is shown in the Job Shadowing Program. Interswitch seeks to close the gap between academic understanding and real-world corporate application by providing practical experience and coaching, giving participants the tools they need to succeed in the quickly changing workplace of today.
Participants will receive extensive training over the course of the following one to five months, learning from both IT industry experts and Interswitch’s seasoned specialists about developing trends, worldwide best practices, and practical skills. Interswitch Group Chief Human Resources Officer Franklin Ali was excited about the project, saying, “Interswitch is dedicated to developing the upcoming generation of leaders in the fintech industry.
Our commitment to giving tech and non-tech workers the tools, resources, and connections they need to launch prosperous careers is demonstrated by the launch of the second iteration of our Job Shadowing Program. By providing this opportunity, we are bolstering the future of the Nigerian tech industry in addition to advancing individual careers.
“Initiatives like the Interswitch Job Shadowing Program play a critical role in nurturing African talent and empowering individuals to thrive amidst the evolving workforce landscape,” Ali added, underscoring the program’s role in strengthening the technology-based talent value chain and improving workforce capabilities. Registering for the program is possible at https://www.interswitchgroup.com/jobs/ for those who want to change the payments and technology ecosystem.
Despite Nigeria’s brain drain problem, Interswitch’s significant commitment in talent development is still reinforced via the Job Shadowing Program. By doing this, the business also confirms its commitment to promoting socioeconomic development and empowerment throughout Africa.
