This program follows Flutterwave’s effort to strengthen and improve its People Organisation, giving people a clear career growth path in line with global standards. This framework, which was designed and implemented in partnership with a top-tier global consulting organization, is a massive step forward to drive development and progression across Flutterwave.
To celebrate the end of this rigorous program, a #RookiestoPro graduation ceremony was held to recognize the efforts and achievements of the former graduate trainees. Expressing excitement during this exclusive event held in Lagos, Chijioke Okorji, a Developer Experience Engineer 1 at Flutterwave, said, “There’s a clear difference in my growth from when I joined, to now. I have a better understanding of my career path and have acquired marketable skills that I am proud of.
More organizations like Flutterwave should give young people a chance through initiatives like this.”
“We thank the People Team and all the Graduate Trainee Managers who helped coach, mentor and train our GTs to propel their growth into Analysts and Engineer 1s. This is in line with our mission to create endless possibilities for all; truly, their careers have taken off and there’s no limit to what they can achieve going forward,” Bode Abifarin, Chief Operating Officer, Flutterwave, said.
