Working at Rabobank

Working at a bank might not be the first thing that comes to mind. 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 knew 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:

• As a sponsor of Kunstbende and Lowlands, we show that culture is 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.

The Rabobank Traineeship

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, 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. A buddy, a former trainee, will help you find your way within the bank. Next to that you will receive guidance from a talent manager and mentor.

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 departments.
• Financing solutions to make homes more sustainable.
• Advising on mergers and acquisitions.
• Trade swaps.

After the 18 months, you choose a position within Rabobank that suits you best.
