Learning at ING

Bringing learning to life

Like everything at ING, your learning and development is designed to be practical, entrepreneurial and innovative.

Practical, because we aim to make you as successful as possible, as quickly as possible, in your field; entrepreneurial, because ultimately you are responsible for driving your learning; and innovative, because that's just the way we are.

Our top priority is to listen to the needs and perspectives of our diverse customers – allowing us to stay connected to them, to respond more effectively and anticipate their needs. But from there we encourage our colleagues to take charge and make their own decisions. That way, a good outcome is something we can all feel part of.

Each country and Business Unit delivers learning in the way most appropriate to them, but these guiding principles remain constant:

With the support and guidance of your manager and Human Resources adviser, you will have the opportunity to explore the business, build up a valuable network of contacts and find the area most suited to you
During your career at ING, you will experience different roles and projects that really challenge you. For example, you may be involved in a 'Greenfield' initiative, helping to build a new business in a new geographical area; or a 'Goldfield' initiative, in which you'll pioneer a new market where we already have a presence
You will receive exceptional on-the-job, in-house and professional training
We monitor your performance and give you regular feedback, so you deepen your understanding of yourself and the possibilities open to you
Colleagues and managers are very willing to share their experience and advice - after all, if it helps you, it helps the business!

The ING Business School, based in the Netherlands, offers unique, high quality leadership education to current and future senior managers and specialists across our company in an ING setting.
