Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) has selected ten Ashesi students to participate in its upcoming 2015 summer internship programme in London. BofAML’s highly competitive global programme provides a good introduction to the world of financial services for select students around the world.
Over the ten-week programme, the students will participate in structured development programmes, networking opportunities and a mentor system that will help them develop their careers.
The students, Sela Agbakpe ’15, Israel Agyeman-Prempeh ’16, Jessica Ali ’15, Effie Bartel-Kodwo ’16, Akosua Dei-Anang ’15, Justina Etteh ’15, Yaw Ohene ’15, Jesse Opoku Asiedu ’15, Peter Vanderpuye ’15 and Esi Yeboah ’15, will join other students from around the world in London to collaborate and learn from each other.
“I am really looking forward to engaging with the people at BofAML,” said Israel Agyemang-Prempeh ’16, who will be joining the Global Markets and Technology division. “The diversity of the bank's employees will allow me to connect with some of the world’s best minds, and I look forward to improving my leadership and software development skills.”
The ten students are the third group from Ashesi to be hired for internships at the global banking giant. The first group of students, which was selected in 2013, Phoebe Amoako ’16, Efua Graham ’15 and Sandra Aminarh ’15, have all received full-time job offers from the bank.
“We are excited that BofAML has been impressed with the students they have recruited from Ashesi so far,” said Assistant Director of Career Services, Esi Bentsi-Enchill. “This shows the competitive edge of Ashesi students globally. Internship opportunities like these help students develop strong career skills, and prepare them for the world stage. We look forward to further strengthening our collaboration with the bank over the coming years.”
