During the ceremony, Melba Nhamitambo highlighted FNB’s commitment to developing young talent: “Our hope is that these interns will become part of the FNB family. This program gives them the skills and experience they need, but more importantly, it brings brilliant minds into our organization, and we believe they will contribute greatly to our success.”

Pedro Santos expressed gratitude for FNB’s strong support, emphasizing the significance of this opportunity for young Mozambicans: “This is a unique opportunity for 15 young people to join FNB branches across the country. Our hope is that you prove your value and that by the end of the internship, FNB will want to keep you.”

This partnership will provide interns with hands-on experience, enhancing their employability and equipping them with the skills necessary for long-term success. The program will span provinces including Maputo, Nampula, Tete, Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala, Manica, and Cabo Delgado, reflecting both organizations’ commitment to youth development across Mozambique.
