Here's what our second batch of apprentices had to say about their experience in the programme:

Julia Batrisyia Muhamad Husaini

Every single experience you’ll have during the programme is a valuable lesson. It pushed us to work together on multiple projects, which really tested our communication, time management and leadership skills.

I’ve learnt to come out of my shell and put myself out there more. As a shy person this is something that I have struggled with and I’m grateful to have been placed in a department that is supportive and encourages me to grow and develop myself. The Graduate Apprenticeship Programme (GAP) is a great experience for fresh graduates who need that extra push to prepare themselves for working life.

Siti Nur Nabilah Aqilah Rahim

GAP exceeded my expectations. The huge shift between a classroom setting to experiential learning kept us on our feet and prepared us to take on more challenging tasks. As a result, my ability to multi-task, work under pressure, and acknowledge mistakes and learn from them has developed.

Being able to connect and network with experts from different departments, I’ve learnt you cannot limit yourself and need to go outside your comfort zone. Fresh graduates who are looking to venture into the corporate life should apply for the programme, as it allows you to develop your knowledge and appreciate different perspectives, both of which will be beneficial to your career development.

Ahmad Nazim Hj Amer Iskandar

The most challenging aspects of GAP were adapting to new environments and juggling lots of different tasks and projects that were assigned to me during the apprenticeship. However, it also highlighted the importance of embracing new ideas and stepping out of my comfort zone. It taught me that being open-minded might lead to opportunities that I would have otherwise overlooked.

It’s a great way to start your career, as it exposes you to a variety of roles in the banking industry and gives you a chance to try something you would never have thought of doing as a career. There aren’t many opportunities like GAP elsewhere.

Mohamad Khairul Haziq Firdaus Mansor

During GAP, I had the pleasure of being mentored by individuals that are smart, skilled, and experienced. I got to explore the ins and outs of the banking and finance world and build connections with people from various backgrounds and fields of expertise. I learnt the importance of finding balance in the workplace and being able to prioritise assignments through a method my colleague shared with me called timeboxing.

I would highly recommend GAP to anyone who has a passion for learning new things, as everyone at Baiduri will happily share their knowledge. It’s an experience that cannot be found anywhere else in Brunei.
