Flutterwave Hires 85% of Its Graduate Trainees after a Year of Training

Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, yesterday announced that it has hired nearly 85 per cent of its 200 Graduate Trainees after one years training.

This, the company said in a statement, reaffirms its 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, “it stated.

Speaking on the successful end of the program and growth opportunities available for employees at Flutterwave,  Flutterwave’s Global Chief People Officer, Mansi Babyloni, said, “We are excited that our aim of giving 200 extremely bright young graduates opportunities to learn on the job and kick start their careers in tech early in life has finally been accomplished. As 170 of them transition from GTs to full time employees after completing 12 months of on-the-job training and shadowing, there are myriad opportunities available for them to explore. I am excited that they get to grow their career on our newly launched career progress framework which is the definition of endless possibilities. Today they’re Analysts and Engineer 1s; tomorrow they could be VPs and CXOs. Anything is possible at Flutterwave. I wish all our 200 GTs, even those who moved onto other opportunities, only the very best. The world is your oyster!. ”

Chief Operating Officer, Flutterwave, Bode Abifarin, said, “We’re thankful for the successful completion of the Flutterwave Graduate Trainee Program. We thank the People Team and all the Graduate Trainee Managers that helped coach, mentor and train our GTs to propel their growth into Analysts and Engineer 1s. This is in line with our mission to create endless possibilities for all; truly, their careers have taken off and there’s no limit to what they can achieve going forward.”
