Talent Internship Retail Banking

How do we remain relevant for Generation Z? How do we help entrepreneurs become more sustainable? And what role does AI play in the bank of tomorrow? As a Retail Banking talent intern, you will work on issues that affect millions of customers.

You will work 36 hours per week for 4 to 6 months on a single internship or graduation assignment within Retail Banking. You will investigate a current customer, innovation, or sustainability issue and translate your insights into concrete recommendations or improvements. You will receive guidance from an internship manager and Young Talent Management. The final assignment, the team, and the working arrangements will be coordinated based on your profile and the available internship positions.

Talent Internship Retail Banking

Together with Rabobank, you will shape an internship or graduation assignment that matches your talents, learning goals, and a current issue.

Topics you could work on include, for example:

• You investigate how entrepreneurs can be helped in making their business more sustainable, when this is the subject of your assignment.
• You explore how private customers can be better supported in realizing sustainable housing wishes, when this aligns with your assignment.
• You analyze digital customer journeys and translate insights into improvements for the digital customer experience.
• You investigate innovation and technology, for example the possible impact of generative AI on service provision, or you map out the wishes of Generation Z and translate these into app improvement ideas.

• Research and analysis.
• Customer-oriented and commercial thinking.
• Digital customer journeys and customer insights.
• Innovation and generative AI.
• Sustainability and social impact.
• Collaborating with different disciplines.

We believe in the power of differences. By combining the differences of people, we become an even better bank. We are curious to see what you will bring to our Retail Banking team.

You will work with colleagues from different disciplines. Your final assignment and internship placement will be linked to your profile and the available opportunities within Retail Banking.

For us, your development and that of society go hand in hand. That is why we want to invest in you and work together towards a better world. We summarize this in one sentence: at Rabobank, you work on yourself and the world around you at the same time.

During your internship at Rabobank, your development is central and you will gain practical experience in a professional environment.

You will receive guidance from your internship manager regarding the assignment. Additionally, you will discuss with a Young Talent Manager what you want to learn and develop. The internship also gives you the chance to discover whether a future position or the Retail Banking Traineeship suits you. Completing the internship does not guarantee a place in the traineeship.

At Rabobank, we work on a culture in which everyone feels welcome. We value our differences and leverage them to collaborate more effectively and make better decisions. By being open to different perspectives, we create an environment in which colleagues feel heard.
