Barclays Corporate and Investment Banking Graduate Programme


Advertiser: Barclays
Location: National

This 18-month journey will see you working with clients across a wide range of sectors, and with colleagues right across our global organisation.

With the ongoing support of a coach, a buddy and a mentor, you’ll learn how to deliver outstanding services to corporations, businesses, financial institutions and high-net-worth individuals worldwide. And you’ll develop skills that will serve you well in your future with us.

The programme consists of three phases:

Phase one
Our orientation programme showcases our fully global environment with local and London-based training. During this international training, you’ll get to meet and build your network with Barclays graduates from around the world. You are therefore required to have a valid passport. Infrastructure graduates will undergo four weeks training in London, while Front Office graduates will complete an eight-week training programme. Training will cover various financial and technical courses as well as the relevant soft skills courses needed to assist you in successfully managing your career. The training will equip you to perform to the best of your abilities when you return to your role within a specific business unit. So even if you are not a finance graduate, you’ll be up to speed and ready to excel.

Phase Two
This is where you put your learning into action. Training will be on the job, as you take on real responsibilities and deliver work for live clients. But you won’t do this alone - your support network will be with you every step of the way.

Phase Three
Now immersed in our work, you’ll continue to gain professional education that focuses on both your individualised development plan and more technical components. Some of this will take place with our Capital Finance Academy.

Closing date: 31 July 2014
