Do you want to work at a bank that feels responsible for its customers and society and gives you all the space to make a difference? Are you someone who is always looking for new challenges and not afraid to step up and contribute to cocreation with colleagues? Have you completed a Master’s degree and are you determined to make the world a better place? Challenge yourself in the Global track of the Rabobank Traineeship and discover the possibilities within the bank!
The Rabobank Traineeship offers you the chance to get to know the organization and our departments in 18 months and work with many different colleagues from the bank.
We offer you a unique experience with four rotations (of approx. 4 months each), giving you a broad perspective on our organization. These rotations can take place within any department at the bank. We arrange the first two assignments based on your educational background, interests, and growth potential. After that, it’s up to you to choose what your preference would be!
Personal development is also central to the program. In addition to working within the various departments, you will also work on developing yourself, both professionally and personally, through coaching sessions and training. You will receive guidance from a talent manager. Next to that, a buddy, being a former trainee, will help you find your way within the bank. Mentorship, by a more senior colleague within the bank, is also provided.
During the Global track of the Rabobank Traineeship, you will build a large network. There are plenty of challenging projects for you to focus on as a Rabobank Trainee. You are the future of the bank. What will it look like? That’s up to you! Here are some examples of rotations from current and former trainees:
- Originating green bonds.
- Helping customers with the alignment of energy transition projects.
- Project management within our innovation teams.
- Creating finance solutions to make homes more sustainable.
- Consulting on strategic projects within the Financial and Economic Crime domain of the bank.
- Working on financing transactions for the bank's corporate clients.
- Building the Next Generation Credit Journey for Rabobank.
After the 18 months, you apply for a position within Rabobank that suits you best.
Note: In case you are really motivated to work in corporate finance, we advise you to apply for the Wholesale Banking track, since these trainees will have priority in the available spots in those departments.
Working at a bank might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you do not have a background in finance. But have you ever considered that you can contribute to a better world at our bank through choices in for instance financing and projects that make an impact to clients? For example, by bringing new ideas to the bank with your fresh perspective and involving customers in transitions.
You probably already know that Rabobank is a financial service provider for more than 9.5 million customers in 40 countries. But we also take our responsibility to society very seriously. We do this in many ways. Such as:
- Being a sponsor of Kunstbende and TeamNL, we show that culture and sports are of great social value in our eyes.
- With 48% of all green financing in the Netherlands, Rabobank is the largest Green Bank.
- We finance the education sector in the Netherlands with five hundred million euros per year. Because good education is the foundation for the society of the future.
Do you want to become the best version of yourself? We are happy to help you by focusing on your development and investing in an environment where you continue to learn. We give you the space to innovate and be entrepreneurial. We offer you plenty of growth opportunities and help you exceed expectations and do the good extraordinarily well so that you can grow as a Trainee. On top of that, you can also count on:
- A gross monthly salary of €3,600 (based on a 36-hour workweek).
Will you seize this opportunity with both hands? Do you have the energy, decisiveness, and enthusiasm to get the most out of yourself?
If we ask friends to describe you in a few words, the answer is at least: change maker, good at networking and emotionally intelligent. You also dare to be critical, are natural curious and call yourself a future leader. You take the time to reflect and continuously improve your performance and that of others. You come up with innovative ideas and strategies and encourage creative solutions.
In addition, you meet the following requirements:
- A completed Master’s degree. Even if you are about to graduate, we would love to get to know you.
- A maximum of 2 years of work experience.
- Relevant extracurricular activities.
- The skills to communicate in English, both orally and in writing.
