Central Bank Apprentice Programme (CBAP) is a two-year training and developmental programme for highly educated and motivated Bahamian applicants. These applicants would have recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in one of the following qualifying disciplines, performing well above average in their academic studies.
Disciplines:
Annually, the CBAP will select a small number of university graduates as Apprentice Interns (AIs), according to the average number of unfilled vacancies for entry-level recruits. AIs will be required to work as a team on a number of key projects, in six-month rotations through four selected departments. They will also be given technical assignments based on strategic work streams of the Departments to which they are rotated. These areas include the following:
At the onset of on-boarding, AIs will be enrolled in the Bank’s medical insurance plan. After successfully completing the first six months on probation, AIs will become permanent staff of the Bank and eligible for a full range of staff benefits, including enrolment in the Bank’s defined contribution pension plan. During the programme, AIs should attain at least an above standard rating in the Bank’s annual performance assessment. At the conclusion of the two-year apprenticeship period and based on their qualifications, experience and the availability of suitable positions within the Bank, AIs can apply for any vacant post that becomes available. Thereafter, they may also compete for in-service scholarships for full-time graduate studies, according to recruitment priorities for technical specialists.[1]
