WiseStart Apprenticeship Program
Kickstart your career with a WiseStart Apprenticeship in Sao Paulo.
Wise is dedicated to developing the next generation of global talent. We've launched our Apprenticeship Program in Sao Paulo, Brazil to give motivated individuals a unique chance to grow professionally and personally within a supportive, international environment.
Why we're doing this
Our commitment to apprenticeships is a reflection of our core values and dedication to people development. We believe in providing opportunities that:
Align with our values of people development: We are committed to developing talent and providing a clear path for professional growth from day one.
Offer a collaborative and supportive environment: Our apprentices will work in a culture where curiosity is encouraged, and help is always available.
Maximise collaboration: Our São Paulo office is designed to maximise open workspaces, making it easy for you to collaborate with and learn from your team members and other functions.
Support youth employment & encourage networking: We are actively invested in contributing to youth employment in Brazil and providing a space where you can build a strong professional network that will last a lifetime.
Have impact from day 1: You will be working on projects that have real world impact for our customers.
"What's particularly invaluable is the fresh perspective apprentices bring. They aren't bound by the "that's how we've always done it" mindset. They challenge us to think differently and introduce new ways of working, which helps us stay innovative."
