At ING we offer our trainees a lot, but we also expect things in return. We want you to take the initiative. To be eager to learn and take an entrepreneurial approach. To develop and share your own vision. And of course, we expect you to deliver results. As a trainee at ING, you can- and should- make a real difference. Within your traineeship, you play a crucial role in helping us to deliver on our customer promise.

Empowering people to stay a step ahead in life and in business – that is our purpose. To be able to help our customers make their own decisions, we need to know what it is they want to achieve. We must be crystal clear about what we can offer them. Therefore, we promise our customers four things:

• We keep banking clear and easy
• We ensure that you can organize your finances anytime and anywhere
• We empower you to move ahead with confidence
• And we continue to improve what we do, every day

As a trainee we offer you a permanent contract, attractive employment conditions and a strong focus on personal development. Right from day one, your traineeship is all about learning, developing and performing, but it’s also a lot of fun.

During your first year you’ll do two project of six months each. We will help you to find your first project, taking into account how we got to know you during the selection procedure as well as your own personal preferences and, of course, ING’s requirements. During your first or second rotation you’ll also attend your first Global Trainee event: a week where all trainees of your ‘year group’ come together in Amsterdam (if circumstances allow) to learn, network and develop yourself.

Halfway through the first six months of your traineeship, it’s up to you to start arranging your second project. Now it’s a matter of making use of your network and your own initiative! Utilise your contacts with other departments and colleagues who might be able to help you. Many trainees choose to go abroad for their second rotation, and ING offers you  opportunities to do so, if circumstances allow. Working internationally provides you with a wealth of valuable experience, both personally and professionally.

You’re still in charge, your third rotation is arranged by you. Your HR trainee manager will help you in the decision making; will this last rotation be done to deepen knowledge of your business (within your track), do you decide to do this rotation within a different track? Imagine: as an Operations & Change or Retail Banking trainee you can get Analytics experience, or as a Risk trainee you can get a better understanding of our Wholesale Banking business.

After your three rotations, it’s time for your permanent role. You will remain part of the ITP. You’ll develop your key competencies and acquire valuable experience. And you’ll deliver tangible results: your work will make a real difference at ING.
