In an exciting announcement for Nigerian university students, GTBank is now inviting applications for its Undergraduates/SIWES Internship Programme. This initiative, geared toward ambitious students, offers a golden opportunity to gain hands-on experience within Nigeria’s vibrant banking sector. The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) provides an avenue for undergraduates to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application.
For many Nigerian undergraduates, finding a quality internship program that provides real-world exposure is essential. GTBank’s SIWES internship initiative has stepped in to meet this demand, offering students the chance to understand banking operations and experience day-to-day activities in a dynamic banking environment. This six-month internship allows participants to engage with industry professionals, develop practical skills, and deepen their understanding of the sector.
Who Is Eligible?
GTBank’s programme has specific eligibility criteria to ensure that selected interns benefit fully from the experience. Only students who are currently enrolled in recognized universities are eligible for this internship. As the opportunity is highly competitive, students who meet all the requirements stand a greater chance of selection.
Requirements for Application
1. Official School Internship Letter
All applicants are required to submit a formal internship letter from their university. This letter is essential for confirming the student’s eligibility and helps GTBank verify that the internship aligns with the academic requirements of the applicant’s institution.
2. Guarantor Forms
The guarantor requirement varies slightly depending on the background of the guarantor. If a GTBank staff member at the ABO grade or higher serves as a guarantor, only one guarantor is required.
For those without a GTBank staff as a guarantor, two guarantors are necessary. These guarantors must be employed full-time at reputable companies, which GTBank verifies to ensure the applicant’s reliability.
3. Student Identification and Documentation
Candidates must provide a valid student ID card to confirm active enrollment at their university. Other required documents include:
- A recent passport photograph with a white background.
- An official transcript or a copy of the last semester’s results, showing a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.5.
- A comprehensive Curriculum Vitae (CV), outlining any prior experiences, academic achievements, and relevant skills.
4. Birth Certificate
To authenticate their application, candidates need a birth certificate issued by Nigeria’s National Population Commission, verifying the applicant’s date of birth and nationality.
5. Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) Results
Applicants must have achieved at least a credit pass in English Language, Mathematics, and three other relevant subjects in either the WAEC or NECO examinations.
6. Skills and Attitude
Besides academic credentials, GTBank seeks candidates with a blend of communication and numerical skills. The ideal intern should also demonstrate a strong willingness to learn, adapt, and thrive in a collaborative setting.
