About the Program
The industrial placement program provides training in formal financial markets, as well as the opportunity to add value to a team by working on a real life business project. The placement offers a unique opportunity to put theoretical coursework and studies into practice in a real-life commercial, business environment.
You will work as an analyst-level resource for one dedicated team within Technology for the duration of your placement. We will evaluate your preferences prior to your start date and take them into consideration when making team allocation decisions.
As well as undertaking an assigned team-specific project during your internship, you will also be working on a group project with other interns. This will help you build upon your project management, team collaboration and presentation skills.
You will be assigned a Credit Suisse buddy who will provide you with additional support prior to, during, and after your placement.
The program offers opportunities to meet with senior managers, colleagues and peers at all levels across the bank. This will ensure you gain an insight into the bank and its culture, as well as the chance for you to start building your professional network.
During your internship, you will undergo an objectives and a review process. This provides structure to your placement and gives you an outline of requirements and goals. This practice also gives us a tangible framework for assessing you for a full-time graduate position, as the industrial placement program is one of our core hiring channels for our full-time Technical Analyst class.
Degree Requirements
To be eligible, you will be completing a Bachelors, Masters or PhD qualification (or equivalent). We will accept applications of degrees in any discipline, although a relevant degree or major is preferred for most careers in IT. Subjects include: Computer Science, Financial Computing, Information Management for Business, Mathematics, Physics and any other related science, technology, engineering or mathematics subject.
You must be graduating in 2018 if you want to be considered for a 6 month industrial placement, or graduating in 2019 if you want to be considered for a 12 month industrial placement. During your placement, you will be assessed for a full-time graduate position to start the year you graduate.
What We Look For
While our employees have a wide range of experiences and interests, they share an intellectual curiosity, a desire to achieve and a pattern of excellence and achievement. Whatever your background, you'll need to be:
Client-focused and committed to developing creative solutions
Able to display leadership skills
An analytical thinker with excellent problem-solving skills
A self-starter who is able to envision long-term goals and ways to attain them
A collaborative team member who builds excellent relationships
An articulate communicator, who also recognizes the importance of listening
