Hello I wanted to clarify some information I saw

I just graduated from school and about to do my ican my plans is after that or while doing my ican I will apply for a graduate trainee program in a bank hopefully to land an accounting role in there or a role similar to it

But recently someone told me that my degree and knowledge on accounting doesn't matter

I wanted to know if I am going to be given a role that does not have anything to do with accounting or anything similar

All am asking is does my accounting degree matter in graduate trainee program in a bank

I'm also an accounting graduate and also about to go for Access Bank trainee program. In fact, nobody really cares about your accounting degree there because there are a lot of graduates that did not graduate with accounting or banking and are still working in account department and other departments in the bank. This is because the bank will train all of you equally so you will be at the same starting point.

I'll advice you to start applying for different graduate trainee programs now so you will get familiar with their test methods. And you might even get lucky to make it to the final stage.

Also, I also heard that (for Access Bank oo) you don't get to choose what department you go to except if you are among the top 3(I think) graduates in training school.
