Banif opens apprenticeships for 11 MCAST students

For the second year running, Banif Bank will be taking a number students on board as part of the MCAST Apprenticeship scheme.

This time round, 11 students will be assisting in various units and branches across the Bank.

“These apprenticeships are a win-win situation for all involved,” head of corporate services at Banif Bank Karl Dingli said. “By working closely with organisations like ours, MCAST helps to bridge the gap between education and industry, allowing the students to gain valuable on-the-job training and transferable soft skills which will undoubtedly aid them take their first steps in their new careers.”

The Bank has had a long and prosperous relationship with MCAST, arranging several work placements over the years. So much so, that a number of the students taking part in these placements went on to become Banif Bank employees.

“The Bank always welcomes the enthusiasm, eagerness to learn and fresh ideas that students can bring to the table. Banif is glad to be able to provide invaluable experience and opportunities which will contribute towards the development of the next generation of professionals,” Dingli added.
