Standard Chartered Bank Ghana Graduate Jobs 2011

This Job is Available in Ghana

We’re looking for the future leaders of Standard Chartered Bank and the International Graduate Programme is the springboard for you to achieve this. We’re looking for the best and the brightest talent in the market to join one of business functions as part of our two-year programme.

What we will teach you

The International Graduate Programme gives you a variety of teaching, we dedicate time in your learning and business exposure as we want to give the best start to your career. From day one you’ll become part of an international community and grow your global network.
