Am a 200level student of Business Management (a four years course) in Abia State UniversitY Uturu(ABSU) I have always dreamt of working in Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN)in future time and has been also working very hard to come out with good grades by building my Gp's(I had 4.20 in my 1st year), am so devoted to my studies and was ignited to do researchs and know more about my dream work place as earlier mentioned, I came to know about 'INTERNSHIP' which I made more research on to know more about it but to realise it was for both post-graduates and Under-graduates... The truth is that I now want to apply for INTERNSHIP in central bank.
QUESTIONS:
How possible is it?
Is it a giant step?
And what are the norms for applying?.
Matured advice please!!! constructive criticism is allowed!!!insults are highly prohibited.....

NOTE:

my going there for internship is not an assurance of my getting d job in future, I know,but my chances of getting employed when applied in future will neither be slim because of my work experience with them while interned. Remember you can be employed immediately you finish your degree if you are the intelligent type(I believe am blessed with that by God).

Nitrogen is right.It is so sad that we have allowed sms text to soil our writing therefore distorting the meaningful nature of our expression.

edit what you have written like a true student which you claim to be. Write it in a full sentences, well structured paragraphs and pass your message across.

What is it with students and abbreviations these days?
OP, please modify your post.

Am very sorry about my juvenile behaviour in the aspect of using abbreviations.*Apologies* Still waiting for advice,contributions as the case maybe

Nice one OP. Well, your idea is a good one. But you'll have to find out more about CBN. It's a good place. You can even pay a visit to any of their branches and make friends with someone there. Ask questions. The person might even provide you with all necessary information. You can even visit their website and make necessary connections.

You may volunteer to work with them without pay. Get interested in what they do.

Thanks alot i appreciate@ Carcta.

More comment! Keep it coming!

Still waiting!!
Bring it on!!!
Your contributions are highly needed.

I doubt you had be able to get an internship as a business management student if you don't already know anyone working at the cbn.
In my opinion, you will need to be studying something along the line of economics, statistics, actuarial science to even stand a chance of being considered.

Good luck

* ring ring, ring ring* Now you are talking!

Thanks alot Jay for your contribution but i dont concur with you, because the last time i checked you can be interned as a buisness manager only if you apply. Still waiting for your objection/contradiction if any.

keep it coming!
Your comments!

Still waiting for your contributions!!!!

Speak with CBN to see what type of internships they offer and to whom these types of internships are available to. Companies typically look for applicants within specific academic faculties for consideration. When speaking with them, ask about the application process. Letters of reference or your school transcripts may be required.

Have you also considered interning for other businesses? Try to cast your net wide as you don't want to invest your resources in one location and then be rejected by the company.

Firstly, I will advise you not to get too fixated about working in CBN. That's one mistake aspiring undergraduates make. I made same. Focus your attention more on developing the right skills, rather than a particular workplace.
While I am not discouraging you from trying to have an internship with CBN, you can have same experience with other organizations with similar skills set. The fact that you have an internship experience with CBN does not in any way guarantee you a job there. Likewise, not having an internship with CBN does not forbid you in any way from working for the organization.
Like some said, network around and find people that work in CBN. They will offer more definite advice on how to go about it.

The CBN I know, it may be difficult to get an internship except you already know someone. However, like others have said, go to their branch and make some enquiry. Yeah, one poster made mention of being fixated - why don't you give the finance ministry a chance be it state or federal.


You can also search for 'wIntern' on FB - they have some openings.

I thank you all for your humble and educative contributions. Well for the case of making inquiries from their branchs i will do that in no distance time, once the start work i wouldn't mind making it the first task am carrying out this year. For not getting too fixed in working in CBN, i will give that a second thought.

keep it coming!
Your contribution(s) matters alot!!
