Graduate Program - The Royal Bank Of Scotland

At Global Banking & Markets we recognise the importance of developing, motivating and retaining our people. This is clearly reflected in our global graduate training programme.

Our comprehensive graduate programme of one to three years (depending on location) is designed to provide you with the skills required to develop a truly rewarding career in one of the world’s leading financial institutions.

The initial training consists of three to twelve weeks’ intensive classroom learning (depending on location), covering an introduction to the financial and capital markets and our distinctive proposition within them. You will then complete a further suite of courses specifically designed to meet your development needs and complement your chosen business area.

Qualifications

We will support you in attaining relevant professional qualifications such as those required by the Financial Services Authority or the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) before you can work in some financial markets or relevant accountancy qualifications such as those offered by the Chartered Institute of Management Accounting (CIMA) or the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

Personal Development

Our training approach includes personal development and networking sessions, supported through our mentor and buddy programmes. Your buddy is generally a recent graduate who will help you understand ‘how things work around here’ as you find your feet in the first few months. Your mentor, a senior member of the business, will coach and support you throughout the programme.

To further broaden your experience, we offer the opportunity where appropriate to work in our international offices as part of your training programme.
