In 2004, Beukes was transferred to Ondangwa Branch as its Credit Clerk.
In 2008, she was appointed at the Credit Department, where she progressed through the ranks to Senior Credit Officer.
Beukes has completed several advanced bank related training and management courses, including the Leadership Development Programme, completed through the University of Pretoria and the Capricorn Group Senior Management Development Programme (SMDP) facilitated by the University of Stellenbosch Business School.
