Applications for the 2026 MTN Global Graduate Development Program are now open. 

MTN’s Global Graduate Development Programme seeks to source, develop, and accelerate top graduates from across MTN’s footprint in Africa and the Middle East. The programme offers a privileged experience that fast-tracks talented individuals into critical roles at MTN.

The MTN Graduate Development Programme combines both formal development in partnership with Duke Corporate Education and the MTN Academy, as well as on-the-job development through full employment and placement into a strategically aligned role. The formal component includes modules at MTN’s 3 regional learning centres, located in Southern, Northern, and Western Africa.

These will include blended learning experiences such as metaphoric immersive experiences, multiple digital and media channels, and connections to social media platforms.

On-the-job development will occur locally within MTN’s operating companies where graduates are employed and will also include job rotation. This will involve in-role experience and diverse interactions with executive committees, as well as mentoring and coaching.

The MTN Graduate Development Programme offers top graduates a bespoke development journey and a significant employment experience within a company that has and continues to shape this continent.
