What believers are saying
- Learners earn while qualifying: Standard Bank combines a monthly stipend with a formal SAQA-accredited qualification.
- Graduates receive ongoing guidance: Standard Bank gives programme participants access to mentors, coaches and on-the-job development.
- Further study receives support: education funding and professional certification assistance are among benefits that vary by location.
What critics are saying
- A learnership is not a permanent-job offer: Standard Bank requires graduates of that programme to apply through recruitment.
