Jacques Celliers, FNB CEO
FNB to create 300 tech-savvy jobs by Staff Writer
F
NB will be employing an additional 300 new engineering, data, quant & technology specialists. This comes after FNB, along with many other businesses in the market, is reigniting a call for the private and public sectors to prevent ‘brain drain’ by investing in high-quality critical skills in domestic markets. The Bank is calling for a collective effort to avail economic opportunities, better employment and career prospects to quell talent migration to overseas markets. FNB further encourages local talent that is overseas to consider returning for opportunities in domestic markets across the African continent. To expedite its bold fintech and platform-related aspirations in banking, insurance, investments and telecommunications, FNB will be recruiting 300 additional experts with engineering, technology, data and quant skills to supplement its existing cohort of more than 5000 equivalent skills. It is looking for industrial engineers, software developers, cloud engineers, cyber security specialists, data and quant scientists, systems and solutions architects, test engineers, chemical and mechanical engineers, actuaries, business and systems analysts, customer and user experience specialists, as well as content and design specialists. Jacques Celliers, FNB CEO says, “Investing in top talent with critical
skills allows economies and businesses to unlock innovation, investment, global competitiveness, and social upliftment. As an employer to an inclusive and diverse group of more than 40 000 employees, our response to this challenge starts with recognising the need to empower the youth with meaningful work experience. Through our internal FirstJob programme, we’ve now enabled over 2500 youth to gain experience with over R280 million invested since 2018. For over a decade, we’ve also been running a highly successful graduate programme and continue to employ most of the participants. Some of those graduates are leading key positions in our business to deliver helpful solutions to our customers,” he says. As an employer of choice, FNB continues to enhance its employee value proposition. The Bank is ahead of the curve in creating a conducive work environment for employees. Roughly 3 years before the Covid-19 pandemic, FNB began encouraging a culture of remote work in areas of the business where it is feasible to do so. In the last year, it accelerated its efforts by further investing in technology and infrastructure to enable a productive remote work experience. As an example FNB employees use the same award-winning FNB App that customers use, to perform tasks like applying for leave,
viewing and downloading payslips, accessing organisational content and fulfilling compliance requirements. Furthermore, the Bank has already redesigned its main campuses to allow employees to adopt a blended work model which comprises hotdesking, working remotely and using any of its campuses post the Covid-19 pandemic. “People are the heartbeat of our organisation and remain core to creating life changing financial services and fintech solutions for our customers. As a result, we’re investing heavily to create an innovative, productive and rewarding environment for our people across our markets. We also enable and support innovative minds through our industry-leading Innovators programme that has been running for over 15 years. We are excited to partner with top talent to delight our customers with contextual platformbased solutions to help them better manage their money,” adds Celliers. The application process for the new roles commences from Monday 9 August 2021. The Bank is inviting top talent to submit applications via its LinkedIn page. FNB further commits to making the application process as smooth and swift as possible requiring that potential candidates submit an abbreviated Curriculum Vitae, undergo a maximum of two interviews and be placed as quickly as possible in these roles.

On an interview with Thabithabs she said the song Ithebalam was written with the intention to question who has she got when she’s in a bad space. “When we are in disperse we all need our hero’s, someone to lay into Dj Thabithabs and get comfort. But what happens when you often find yourself in that position of needing someone and they have always relied on to and they won’t be there. they do not show up. “It is in these difficult situations Generally the song says one should trust and relay in themselves that one starts to question ‘hubani and no one else because one day ithembelami’ which simply translate they might look for that someone to ‘who has got my back’.
The self-proclaimed Black goddess will be looking to drop her album later this year and a six track EP by the end of the women’s month. “The six track EP will be released by end of August and it will be titled Black Goddess, this will also feature 2 gospel tracks and 2 love songs,” The former Y-FM Dj has also commented on the positives of the covid-19 regulations as far as music production is concerned. “Lockdown has given us artists a lot of time to focus on production rather can performing, as a producer you have the ability to create, compose and compile. “As a performing DJ it was not hard for me to transition from radio to these other different gigs and producing because the experience was there. On the single Dj Thabithabs has featured Mnesh and Agreesto on the vocals and it’s currently available to stream on YouTube and on online music stores.

The home has since seen growth but still faces major financial constraints and setbacks. According to Mbuso Kwinda, the media liaison said the NPO started in two bedrooms of Mrs Mofokeng and has grown over the years. It is located at Phomolong section in Thembisa. “The mission is supporting orphans while bringing about sustainable change and introduce developmental strategies to build one’s self-image and confidence. And to make sure all children regardless of race, religion have their fundamental rights protected.”
The centre is a community centre that is influential in reaching out to members of the community working hand in hand with local authorities and local municipality. “Tawana community effectively identifies the needs of people in the community and support projects and programmes that are put into place to bring reformation into the community.” “We manage to grow from the two-bedroom to 7 bedrooms and two toilets sponsored by CTM. “And the challenges we face is that due to covid_19 we facing with challenges of running our weekly soup kitchens due to financial pressure. “We plead with sponsors to sponsor us in order to continue to make the difference in our community,” said Kwinda.
