Flutterwave Hires 85% of Its Graduate Trainees as Full-Time Employees after a Year of Training.
Lagos, Nigeria – 13th September, 2023. Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, today announced that it has hired nearly 85% of its 200 Graduate Trainees (GTs) after the end of the inaugural GT program.
This reaffirms the company’s commitment to nurturing young talent and maintaining its position as an incredible workplace with a conducive environment for individuals seeking clear career growth opportunities in technology.
Launched in August 2022, the Flutterwave Graduate Trainee Program was a 12-month-long paid traineeship for newly graduated youth with little to no work experience but with big aspirations. The program was designed to build a network of young talent and equip them with technical and soft skills and practical experiences by working at a global organization with over 750 employees worldwide.
This program further highlighted Flutterwave’s responsiveness to the needs of its customers, young talent, and the community as the program was tailored to accommodate the unique needs of recent graduates, including the flexibility to align with their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) obligations.
Over 170 GTs have shaken off their graduate trainee titles and will kick start their careers as Analysts and Engineer 1s in alignment with Flutterwave’s newly designed and launched career progression framework, which shows a clear pathway of growth from Analyst to Executive Vice President. This program follows Flutterwave’s effort to strengthen and improve its People Organisation, giving people a clear career growth path in line with global standards. This framework, which was designed and implemented in partnership with a top-tier global consulting organization, is a massive step forward to drive development and progression across Flutterwave.
To celebrate the end of this rigorous program, a #RookiestoPro graduation ceremony was held to recognize the efforts and achievements of the former graduate trainees. Expressing excitement during this exclusive event held in Lagos, Chijioke Okorji, a Developer Experience Engineer 1 at Flutterwave, said, “There’s a clear difference in my growth from when I joined, to now. I have a better understanding of my career path and have acquired marketable skills that I am proud of. More organizations like Flutterwave should give young people a chance through initiatives like this.”
