Flutterwave, Africa’s payments technology company, has announced the launch of its Graduate Trainee Program.
According to the payment company, the program aims to nurture 200 young Nigerians by impacting their technical, and soft skills, exposing them to Flutterwave’s solutions and products, and giving them experience working at a global organisation.
Bode Abifarin, chief operating officer, Flutterwave while speaking about the program said, ” Flutterwave is an African company built to solve African challenges with African solutions. Some of the biggest challenges we have faced at Flutterwave have been solved by enlightened African tech experts with African needs in mind. Therefore, we would not be living up to our company’s ethos if we did not offer a leg-up to the young talent available and inspire and train them to ensure that the next future challenges in Africa’s tech scene are solved by talented young Africans.”
He explained that the graduate trainee program and the job fair represent Flutterwave’s commitment to offering these talented individuals the opportunity to share their innovations and expertise with leading experts and tech entrepreneurs not only in Nigeria but across the continent. We hope that by powering the youth’s dreams, we power the continent’s tech scene as well.
