WeFi’s internship programs stand out by prioritizing mutual benefit for interns and the company. “From the nuances of regulations to the exciting possibilities of AI agents, WeFi has attracted and supported interns for many years. This success provides insights on what defines a worthwhile internship programme. The foundation is about understanding that both parties must see a benefit,” says Rob Knight, WeFi's Africa and Innovation Managing Director. The programs focus on accountability, structured learning, and networking to prepare interns for enterprise roles.
The flagship Nicholas Feinstein Technology Internship Scholarship, in memory of a former WeFi intern, collaborates with the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) to select top graduates. “Talented people differentiate businesses, and internships are about cultivating talent and giving back to the markets that have supported us. It's great for the inflow of youngsters into the business,” Knight adds. This initiative ensures accountability through public reporting in the university newspaper, showcasing intern experiences and WeFi’s commitment to value-driven programs.
WeFi’s internships are structured to provide diverse exposure to business and technical areas, including AI agent development, sprint environments, and certifications. “When I graduated, my focus was more on a business career. But since being here, I have found it really exciting to build agents. It might change my focus, so I'm excited to see that,” said Rufta Atsgeba, a UNC alum at WeFi’s Stellenbosch office. This structured approach helps interns explore career paths and gain practical skills.
Networking is a cornerstone of WeFi’s program, connecting interns with industry professionals and mentors. “We learn a lot of soft skills, and we get to actually work in scrum environments, weekly sprints, and that type of thing, and that's what we're going to be doing in the real world. It's really amazing for us to get this experience,” says Ethan Blair, another UNC alum interning in South Africa. These connections and soft skills enhance employability, even beyond WeFi.
Finding quality internships is competitive, but WeFi offers clear pathways. University partnerships, like those with UNC and the University of Stellenbosch, are primary avenues. For others, Knight advises, “Our customers and partners also recommend people for internships, so get to know the people in the industries you want to enter. Show an interest in what they do. Treat them to a coffee for a bit of their time and build a rapport.” This proactive approach opens doors to WeFi’s transformative internships.
WeFi’s internship programs exemplify how structured learning, networking, and accountability can shape future fintech leaders, offering invaluable opportunities for career growth in a dynamic industry.
