International Talent Program

**International Graduate Program - IT**:
At ING we work at the forefront of technology so Aussies can stay one step ahead in life and in business. We’re looking for ambitious and talented graduates who have the vision to understand how we can offer this experience for millions of Australian customers to ensure we remain Australia’s most recommended bank. The industry is evolving and while other banks are defining their digital and automation strategies, we’ve turned to the next frontier in banking. At ING we’re on a journey of change that is centered on our customers, powered by technology and driven by smart, determined people spanning a global network to Build the Bank of the Future.

**Allow your talent to flourish and enjoy the best experience in our IT traineeship**:
Our IT traineeship enables you to steer your career in a direction that suits your talent and passion. This 2 year program allows you to discover yourself through a wide selection of (online) professional and personal skills trainings **as well as a 3-4 month overseas assignment, typically within the first year**.**

**Make an impact as a trainee**:
Today’s IT decisions influence how our company will look in five years’ time. We implement the very best IT solutions and develop our own software.

**Your first year**:
Your HR trainee manager will assist you in choosing your first rotation based on your own interest and learning goals. This rotation lasts approximately six months.

For example, you could set to work as DevOps Engineer, IT Security Engineer, Architect, Java Developer or in the area of Cyber security.

During your first rotation you also work together with fellow trainees from other departments on a group assignment to tackle a challenge that is relevant to our business. This gives you the opportunity to expand your network within ING and practice your stakeholder management skills.

With these new experiences and contacts, you are in charge to arrange your second rotation. We encourage it to gain international experience with an overseas assignment during this six-month period, (if possible with local COVID-19 restrictions). This is not only great fun but also good for your personal and professional development.

**Your second year**:
After two rotations, you now have a better understanding of which direction you would like to go and are ready to choose your third rotation. Are you broadening your knowledge within your department, or would you like to explore a business area within another department?

During your third rotation you’ll start networking for your fixed position. This permanent role in Australia will let you go deeper into the field of IT right from the start.

You expand your knowledge and hone your skills, while working on your further development as a e.g. Dev Engineer, Python Developer, Enterprise Architect or Security Specialist.

**Training and Coaching**:
As a trainee there will be many opportunities to discover and develop yourself. Your HR trainee manager coaches you during your three rotations. For extra guidance you can reach out to your line manager or ask a senior manager to mentor you. During the second year of your traineeship you’ll also benefit from a few personal sessions with an external coach.

During your traineeship, you participate in two Global Trainee events focused on professional and personal skills together with all ING’s trainees - across all departments - from around the world. On top of this, throughout the year various virtual trainee days are organized where you’ll learn about ING and work on your professional skills.

The opportunity will be challenging, fulfilling, and will enable you to build a foundation in the ever-evolving banking industry. With over 20 years proven success delivering industry-leading, digital-driven disruption, the ING Tech Team offers a dynamic, innovative environment where diverse minds can thrive - and we want to put you in the driver’s seat.
