Young people are central to our recruitment policy. Our active presence with students and young graduates helps them to find out about professions in banking. We are looking for dynamic, curious and motivated applicants. The diversity of our business activities leads us to recruit students and young graduates with varied experience and career paths.

For those who have already graduated with their Bachelor or Master degree with less than 12 months of experiences, we offer Trainee opportunities across Front Office and Support Functions throughout the year. It is a great chance to gain in-depth experience and knowledge of our Business, as well as to build network with industry professionals. The Trainee program will start off with a 12-month contract first with possibilities of extension up to 24 months. Successful Trainees may be offered a permanent contract after the program ends.

For students who are interested in our Global Markets business, we offer a 10-week program between June to August. This internship program aims to provide a platform for students to understand CACIB and our Global Markets business. By offering a real world experience to work inside the Trading Floor, students will gain insights and exposure through the 10-week program and also explore their interests and develop professional skills and competencies.

Interns will be rotated to different desks during the 10-week program and they will gain a more comprehensive understanding about our GMD teams and products.

Successful Interns will be offered a Graduate Analyst position after completion of studies. The Graduate Analyst program is a 2-year program with four 6-month rotations in different desks within our Global Markets Division.

The application period for Summer Internship will start from around October.
