About Sterling Bank Apprenticeship Program

Are you a young, driven individual looking to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience? Do you want to gain practical knowledge while earning and growing your career in one of Nigeria’s most forward-thinking organizations?

Then you need to check out the Sterling Apprenticeship Program—a transformative opportunity designed just for you.

The Sterling Apprenticeship Program (SAP) is an innovative, hands-on program designed by Sterling Bank to empower young Nigerians with the practical skills, real-world work exposure, and professional development they need to succeed in today’s competitive job market.

It’s more than an internship. It’s not just training. It’s a career launchpad.

This program is aimed at young, passionate individuals who have not yet completed their university education but are hungry to learn and ready to work.

We understand that education and experience shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. That’s why we introduced Grow with Sterling—a purpose-driven initiative to help young talents gain access to quality education, while also building the confidence and capabilities to thrive in the workplace.

As a participant, you will be enrolled in one of our partner institutions and work with us at Sterling in a structured work-study model. This means you won’t just be learning in the classroom, you will be applying your knowledge in real life, gaining hands-on experience, and growing every day.

This is our way of saying: We believe in investing in your future—because we know the impact one determined young person can have. Now, imagine what many driven young people, like you, can achieve when we all come together.
