Trainees who have graduated from the Programme are to be found working in a variety of challenging positions within the Group where their qualification and training is highly valued.<\/p>\n<p>The TOPP experience at FirstRand Bank is not purely a training experience. First and foremost, it sets out to select and recruit aspiring CA\u2019s who are self-starters, will challenge and seek challenge, who display entrepreneurial ability and add value, and who ultimately see themselves establishing careers within FirstRand.<\/p>\n<p>In return, the FirstRand Bank TOPP Programme offers trainees three years of articles in a banking environment where they will be exposed to the five core category areas of experience prescribed by SAICA that are:<\/p>\n<p>Financial Accounting<br \/>\nManagement Accounting and Financial Management<br \/>\nTaxation<br \/>\nInternal Audit and Corporate Governance<br \/>\nProfessional skills<\/p>\n<p>Three years of articles where trainees, in addition to the prescribed experience, will be exposed to the many essential and life skill building experiences to be found in a highly energized and innovative Bank.<\/p>\n<p>Trainees will gain their experience by being placed on rotations within the various business entities of FirstRand Bank, thus giving them hands-on experience and a good overview of banking. Examples of some of the rotations where training takes place are:<\/p>\n<p>FirstRand Bank Group Finance<br \/>\nFirstRand Bank Internal Audit<br \/>\nFirstRand Bank Tax<br \/>\nFNB Retail Bank:<br \/>\nFNB HomeLoans<br \/>\nFNB Investment Product House<br \/>\nFirstCard<br \/>\nRMB Asset Management<br \/>\nRMB Private Equity<br \/>\nRMB Investment Banking Division<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the support trainees receive from the TOPP Programme management team, each trainee is appointed a trained mentor, who is a CA. The rotation line management and the teams of the business entities in which trainees are placed, are keen supporters of the Programme and this ensures integration and quality training for the trainees.<br \/>\nThe FirstRand Bank TOPP Programme aims to make the Programme experience one where learning, development and achievement of career goals, are balanced with job satisfaction and enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to apply <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The TOPP Programme is open to applicants who have completed a BCom Acc (Hons)\/CTA degree or applicants who are in the final year of BCom Acc (Hons)\/CTA, may also submit applications to the details supplied below.
