Join us at Standard Bank and experience continuous personalised learning, exciting career opportunities, and a range of benefits designed to help you be your best self, both inside and outside of work. Why wait? Your ideal career awaits.
Explore, learn, grow
At Standard Bank, we’re committed to helping our people develop and grow. You are at the centre of our business success. We work hard to provide an environment where you can get all the support, training and experience you need to flourish, both professionally and personally.
Right now, is the most exciting time to join us. As we continue our transformation towards becoming a platform business, we’re focusing on accelerating skills development in all areas – while encouraging all our people to think differently and drive our progress forward.
Most recently, we’ve partnered with three of the world’s biggest brands, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services and Salesforce, to launch a skills academy to develop critical engineering skills across Africa. And we’ve got plenty more ideas like that up our sleeves.
Structured Training and Personalised Development
By completing structured training and using personalised learning platforms, you’ll be able to learn new skills and keep pace with the fast-changing digital world of work. So, you’ll have access to opportunities you never dreamed of before.
With our online learning platform, My Learning, you'll have your own customised development pathway, tailored to your unique skills, role, and development goals.
We can also assist with funding your membership of professional associations or provide you with funding for academic development through our Bursary Programme.
