FCMB Commences #FCMBFlexxtern Contest

This, no doubt is good news for Nigerian youths seeking for job opportunities as First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has announced the commencement of the fifth edition of its #FCMBFlexxtern contest.

The financial institution has called for entries from eligible young Nigerian graduates who desire to secure employment in leading corporate organisations in the country.

The online contest is designed for youths between 18 and 30 years and will run between October 15 and 30, 2021. It is a programme that offers young Nigerian graduates the opportunity to gain work experience through an internship, which could eventually lead to full employment in reputable organisations.

However, in a statement by the Bank’s Group Head, Corporate Affairs, Mr. Diran Olojo, he said; “The #FCMBFlexxtern programme is another platform for Nigerian youths to demonstrate their talent and determination to take leadership positions.”

“We realise that many youths have what it takes to succeed if given access to mentoring, training and practical knowledge.”

“We are excited that the #FCMBFlexxtern initiative has become a catalyst to fast-track the development of a new generation of professionals and leaders.”

“It is expected that many young graduates will take advantage of this opportunity by participating in this year’s contest.”

“Nearly 100 young graduates have benefitted since the programme’s inception in 2016, with several of them doing very well in their chosen careers.”

“The competition will take place via the FCMB Flexxzone, an exclusive microsite built around the bank’s product for youths known as Flexx.”

“Young graduates who wish to participate in the #FCMBFlexxtern contest should visit the FCMB Flexxzone and upload a 45-second video on YouTube using the hashtag #FCMBFlexxtern5 explaining why they are the best qualified for the internship opportunity. They should then invite their friends to vote for them.”

“Entries with the highest number of votes at the end of the public voting will be shortlisted, and a panel of judges will carry out an independent rating of the contestants to select 30 winners.”

“Each winner will get a 3-month paid internship and career-building experience with either FCMB or one of the organisations partnering with the bank. The beneficiaries also stand a chance of being retained for full employment at the end of their respective internships.”
