FirstBank Invests in Employees to Build Future Leaders

FirstBank is committed to investing in its employees and building future leaders through a comprehensive human capital management development agenda. The bank has created multiple pathways for staff to transform their careers and become tomorrow's leaders, moving beyond the traditional 9-5 job.

The FirstBank conversation program allows non-core employees who have served at least one year to transition into permanent positions, ensuring that hard work is rewarded and providing stability and growth opportunities. The bank has designed three flagship programs to identify and nurture high-potential talent, focusing on career acceleration and leadership development.

The FirstAcademy serves as FirstBank's corporate university, accredited by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), and offers staff access to world-class training, often at discounted rates. FirstBank's parent company, First Holdco PLC, has been recognized as the second-best workplace in the financial services sector in Nigeria, reflecting its commitment to responsible employment practices and the dignity and respect of its colleagues.
