The MTN group is inviting applications from suitably qualified candidates for its MoMo TechSpark Graduate Programme, which seeks to offer young Nigerian graduates an entry space into the tech and digital finance career. This 12 month programme is designed for young and inquisitive minds who want to acquire practical knowledge and hands-on experience working on live projects that impact millions of people.
The MTN’s MoMo platform is crucial in the broadening of access to financial services, with the continued development of mobile banking across Africa. This graduate programme is in line with that vision and thus trains the new generation of tech professionals who will be at the forefront of innovation in digital payments and more generally financial technology.
What the Programme Offers
MoMo TechSpark Graduate Programme is designed to be a learning plus doing experience. From day one, the future leaders at the technology firm are exposed to the company’s operations, work culture and digital strategy. This onboarding helps them understand how technology goes together with business objectives.
A key feature of the programme is the technical training in the areas of Information Technology:
- Cloud computing
- Data analytics
- Artificial intelligence
- DevOps
- Cybersecurity
- Software engineering
- IT infrastructure.
These skills are relevant in the current job environment, giving participants an edge as they progress with their work life.
Another great aspect of the programme is the rotational system. Graduates are exposed to different teams, technical and commercial, to give them an overall scope of business operations. It also helps the graduate identify their best fit in the business.
Also, participants have been given real projects to work on, and they offer their services in addressing business problems. This type of training makes the entire learning process pragmatic and helps to prepare them for their full-time engagement.
Mentorship, Certification and Growth
There is a strong emphasis on continuous development in the program. Each trainee receives mentorship from experienced professionals in the same field. They assist graduates in problem-solving, skill acquisition and career planning. The programme also facilitates professional certifications.
Performance reviews are held regularly, usually quarterly. Such reviews track progress so far and most importantly, point out the weaknesses. Such a form of feedback ensures that the participants keep on growing during the progress of the programme.
Key Responsibilities
During the programme, participants are expected to actively contribute to team work. These include assisting with coding, testing application, debugging and producing technical documentation. These tasks are useful in building confidence and exploring technical skills of the trainees.
Graduates will also work with cross-functional teams on various projects. It includes data gathering, identifying user needs, and assisting in the creation of technology-based services. This means that graduates will have to work with different teams to harness collaboration skills, such as communication and teamwork.
Participants must adhere to company policies, confidentiality, ethics and security of information. They will also support the knowledge sharing sessions and contribute to the daily IT running needs in case their support is necessary.
Eligibility Requirements for MTN MoMo TechSpark Graduate Programme
- Applicants should have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in fields like Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Mathematics, or Physics.
- They should also have completed or be near the completion of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme.
- The minimum and maximum post-NYSC experience for enrollees is zero and two years, respectively.
Skills:
- Possess a basic programming knowledge in Python, Java, JavaScript or SQL.
- General understanding of software development processes, APIs, testing, debugging and version control tools such as Git is important.
- Demonstrate a strong problem-solving ability and analytical thinking are necessary since participants will be presented with real technical problems.
- Some knowledge on cloud computing, databases, and IT systems is also required.
Apart from technical skills, apart from clear communication, team spirit, and fast adaptability to new environments are among the non-technical qualities that a recruit must possess for MTN. User-focused attitude is also a key consideration for both general and specific cases in building solutions revolving around the business needs.
Why this Programme Stands Out
The MTN MoMo TechSpark Graduate Programme is not limited to training. It provides a vast array of experience, exposure of working with the industry professionals and opportunities to make an impact using the solutions developed by the company. Together with technical knowledge, the participants are equipped with a good understanding of businesses, which improves preparedness for long-term career growth.
Another key benefit is full-time employment. After the completion of the programme, successful interns may be retained by MTN, thus, offering a good point of entry into the company.
