ING Commercial Banking Graduate Programme  


Learn by doing


The ING Commercial Banking Graduate Programme is based on learning by doing. This means you’ll get real responsibility from the moment you walk in the door – and that you’ll be expected to contribute to your team’s success and our business’s bottom line.


But you won’t be on your own. As part of the deal we offer a training period of 14 to 16 months. During this, you will do two or three short-term assignments (three to six months each, including one abroad) in different parts of Commercial Banking. We’ll give you intensive education and training together with other Commercial Banking graduate entrants from around the world. And you will get to know more about our strategy, customer approach, attitude to risk and product solutions.


Once you have completed our graduate programme you’ll be ready to move into your first full position as financial analyst, assistant relationship manager or junior account manager.


It’s your career

We believe in facilitating talent, not leading people by the hand, so the initiative you show will determine your opportunities.


The heart of the ING Commercial Banking Graduate Programme is the two or three short-term assignments you will do. We think it’s essential for graduate entrants to gain experience in different business and product lines. Possibilities include Clients, Structured Finance, Financial Markets and General Lending, with one assignment outside the country in which you are based.


In addition, you will get the following training opportunities:

• Intensive Banking Programme – a five-week, on-campus international programme that provides an intensive introduction to Commercial Banking. Here you will learn about our approach to clients, industry strategies, financial analysis, modelling, financial structuring and risk management. Plus you will also work on key skills like negotiation, pitching and presentation.

• Chartered Financial Analyst level 1 – enhance your knowledge of Corporate and Investment Banking and demonstrate your ability to go far, fast. We expect you to obtain the level 1 certificate within the 16 months of the programme.


Development

ING is committed to developing people. In addition to on-the-job training and specialist courses, there is also our ING International Graduate Curriculum, which aims to develop you as an ING citizen starting with a three week programme in the first year of your career and expanding your knowledge and network in the IIGP curriculum. This four-year programme runs alongside and supplements the ING Commercial Banking Graduate Programme. It consists of two global cross-business learning events:

  • the three weeks ING International Graduate Programme in your first year with ING
  • the International Talent Conference in your fourth year

In your second and third years you will be able to take part in regional learning events in Europe, the Americas or Asia Pacific.


Compensation and benefits

We believe that the top-quality service we provide our clients should be reflected in the conditions of employment and working conditions we offer our staff. You can expect excellent conditions of employment, extensive benefits, and a pleasant working environment that enables you to turn in a winning performance every day. Local conditions will apply.


As a trainee on the ING Commercial Banking Graduate Programme, you will also be offered a permanent employment contract and you can start in March or September each year. ING will also cover the cost if you have to move to another country.
