 Jamie Wilson, International Banking Group’s first Graduate Leadership Trainee, returned home this week from the first part of the programme which took place in Cayman during the past 12 months. The training programme, first launched by the bank in February 2009, provides fast-track entry into management through an intensive three-year training regimen encompassing both retail and commercial banking. The programme was open to all Belongers holding an accredited first degree. Following a series of intense tests and rigorous interviews, Wilson was appointed the successful candidate and headed off to Cayman in February 2010. “The last 12 months at Cayman National Bank have been great,” Wilson said. “I have attained a wealth of knowledge in the various areas of retail and commercial banking. Although my training was challenging, the experience was definitely fun for me.” “I look forward to the next 12 months where I will be focusing on all areas associated with credit. I am very excited to be home to continue my training and contribute to a new institution in our islands.” Kellie-Ann Evans-Hall, IBG vice president of Human Resources, said Wilson’s return from Cayman National is an important benchmark for the programme. “Jamie’s ability to learn from our sister organisation while also contributing to their success has been a fantastic exchange,” she said. “As our first graduate trainee, we are hopeful that his banking career will be an illustrious one and will set the pace for those who will follow in his footsteps.” Wilson obtained working experience at Cayman National in functions including customer service, credit card services and compliance. He will spend the next 12 months in the TCI training in IBG’s credit department. Wilson will then return to Cayman for the final year of the Graduate Leadership Programme where he will specialise in an area of banking where he will adopt a management role. IBG says it currently employs 30 persons in the TCI, and only five require a work permit. The Graduate Leadership Programme was designed to make banking a more enticing career choice and to develop home-grown talent, thereby replicating the success of Cayman National, where only 1 percent of staff require work permits in the last 35 years.
