The academic training
We heavily invest and take your career seriously and have developed two academic training programmes to support your understanding of all areas of Consumer Banking. Phase 1 takes place immediately after the International Induction Programme in Year 1 and Phase 2 at the end of Year 1 and last one week each.
The content for each programme changes each year, to keep pace with the year’s challenges and strategy. For example the 2009 Phase 2 programme took the format of a giant ‘Innovation Lab’ where teams of IG’s competed to design from end-to-end the best product that solved financial needs for a very particular segment of customer.
However a typical programme consists of the following elements:
• Extensive interaction and networking with senior members of Consumer Banking
• Technical workshops facilitated by subject matter experts or Global Trainers (topics have included risk simulation, process re-engineering, and product development for example)
• Interactive talks with our Group Head of Strategy and other experts on the future of banking, the economy and critical global trends
