What’s great about the programme?
Every area of our business is different – they each need their own skillsets, their own challenges, their own nuances. What better way to find out what working in a business area is like, than from the people who are already working there?

Is the programme for you?
Does the idea of gaining experience across a wide range of customers and business areas to find which areas suit you best excite you? Are you the sort of person who likes to be challenged while contributing to important work? Our Financing Solutions Internship programme could be for you.

At the end of the placement, we’ll assess you on what you’ve learned. Complete this successfully and you could be offered a place on our 2025 Financing Solutions Internship programme, where you can carry the skills you’ve learnt forward and take the next step in your career.
