Next Generation Programmes
Future Leaders programme
Each year, COOPEC Bank invites a group of aspiring young professionals through its doors for the Future Leaders Programme. Created for 18-25 year olds, the course has been carefully designed to bring out each attendee’s inner entrepreneur, introducing them to industry leading professionals and like-minded individuals. Participants are drawn from further afield than the usual client pool to include outstanding university applicants, local school graduates and charity beneficiaries.
Next Generation Training programme
This programme is structured as a formal work experience at our corporate offices in Africa.
The programme runs for periods of 1 or 2 weeks, and is structured for the benefit and development of young adults, offering exposure to all areas of the business including investments, dealing, marketing, compliance and operations; to provide a broad picture of how each of these areas fit together.
The work experience programme also allows trainees to join many of our 'business-as-usual' functions; such as asset allocation meetings, visits from external managers and stock selection meetings. At the conclusion of the programme, each individual is invited to present a stock of their choice for consideration at one of our weekly stock selection meetings. The programme has been very successful and the number of enquiries continues to increase.
