What This Learnership is About

If you’ve finished your qualification and keep hitting the “experience required” wall, this is exactly the kind of opportunity meant to break that cycle.

The RMB FirstJob Learnership gives you 12 months inside a real corporate environment - not shadowing, or observing, but actually contributing to work that matters.

You’re placed within a business unit and expected to learn fast, deliver, and grow. It’s not back to university, however, it’s your first real step into the working world.

About Rand Merchant Bank (RMB)

Rand Merchant Bank, part of FirstRand, one of the biggest financial groups in South Africa. 

That matters because the name alone carries weight on your CV. If you perform well here, it opens doors beyond just this programme.
