From day one we are exposed to a different way of thinking and we are treated as equals, the program has also challenged me to learn new and innovative technology which will greatly influence how we evolve in the tech industry, I’ve also been fortunate to be given the opportunity to work on projects that will impact different business processes in a more efficient manner, working alongside some of the brightest minds at Investec which has in turn helped me pave the way into my career.
