This three year tailor-made programme is a unique chance to learn by doing. This means you’ll get real responsibility from the moment you walk in the door.

In your first year, you will work on two challenging projects. Since Finance plays a key role throughout the entire company they take place in various divisions, at corporate level or in one of ING’s many business lines. As you are part of an international team, there are opportunities to do one project abroad.

The next two years are all about, deepening your knowledge, continuous network building, and developing your consultancy and leadership skills. You choose a two year financial position to suit your talent and ambitions. A few challenging examples: Consultant Strategy & Business Change, Financial Analyst, Fund Controller, (senior) employee management accounting, and Manager Planning & Control. You will collaborate closely with your colleagues, both in our business units and in staff divisions such as Legal, Risk Management and HR. In the beginning most Finance careers have a more specialistic focus. Later on this transfers into (general) management positions, with a larger footprint within the organisation.

By the end of the traineeship, you will be an experienced finance professional and fully equipped to take the next step in your career.

We believe in facilitating talent rather than leading people by the hand, so the initiative you show will determine your opportunities. But you won’t be on your own. You will get a wide range of development opportunities throughout your career, depending on your own specific interests and strengths. Additionally, a career officer from Human Resources will coach you during your entire traineeship.

During the programme, you will get the following study opportunities:

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 international programme in the first year of your career and expanding your knowledge and network during the curriculum. This four-year programme runs alongside and supplements the ING Finance Talent 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 year you will be able to take part in regional learning events in Europe, the Americas or Asia Pacific.

You can expect excellent conditions of employment, an extensive benefits package and a pleasant working environment.

As a trainee on the ING Talent Programme Finance you will be offered a permanent employment contract and can start anytime during the year.
