About the programme

The Global Internship Programme is the Bank’s structured Internship programme. These Internships typically take place during June – August for 10 weeks.

OUR SOCIAL INITIATIVES THAT YOU CAN BE A PART OF

Change where it matters

Promoting social and economic development isn’t just about our many corporate social responsibility initiatives. First and foremost, we help businesses become successful, which in turn impacts the wider local community. And yes, we get involved in programmes ranging from gender equality to eradicating avoidable blindness.

SUSTAINABILITY

A new framework

Balancing business, economic growth and protecting the environment

We have a new sustainability framework, which will help us address what we do for businesses and economies, and what we need to do for the environment.

For example, we’re publishing new criteria and standards about the kind of business we will do and the kind we won’t, starting with Coal.

We’ve made our list of prohibited activities public. It shows that we’re committed to sustainable economic growth in our communities and markets.

Go further

We’re dedicated to maintaining our roots. We want to be available, accessible and accepted in the local markets we serve, and to do everything we can to help communities and businesses prosper in a sustainable way.
That’s where our people come in. Disruptors, game-changers, creatives. Analysts, innovators, achievers. Our early careers roles go way beyond banking - spanning different nationalities, specialisms, backgrounds and ambitions to shape the future and make change happen.

Go bigger

We look for more than numbers - we look for ambition, for drive and for a restless desire to change things for good. So whether your background is in engineering, tech, design or something else entirely, give us energy and enthusiasm and we’ll give you the freedom, support and opportunities to grow a meaningful career.

Go better

We’re redefining banking to put people at the heart of everything we do. As well as growing businesses and helping communities flourish, we’re involved in a range of different people-focussed initiatives. We rebuild homes via Habitat for Humanity in Nepal, support girls with Goal and much more, so however you want to do the right thing, you’ll find a way to get involved.
