About the programme
SEB is a large, international company with more than 15 000 professionals. The programme is designed to give you a broad introduction to what it is like to work in a large and complex organisation. The programme includes roughly 20 positions. The majority of these are located in Sweden, but we also have some positions at our international sites.
The programme starts in September and runs for 9 months. You are hired into a specific role from the beginning. During the Trainee Programme, practical work is interspersed with training to give you the best possible conditions for development and to have an exciting career at SEB.
SEB’s International Trainee Programme is a great way to kick-start your career. During your trainee year we will prepare you and give you the best tools to develop and take on the challenge to drive change. The programme is divided into three parts: work at your home department, job rotations and training.
Your role
You belong to a home team from the start. There you will get support and inspiration to grow and perform in your job assignment. Together with your manager you will plan rotations with other units and departments to get a broad understanding of what work is like in a large international organisation. You also have the opportunity to plan for an international internship at another SEB office for up to 4 weeks after graduating from the programme.
Training and collaboration
You will participate in learning activities, for example trainings in self-leadership, communication and negotiation. During your trainee period, you will spend a lot of time collaborating with other trainees from the Tech Programme as well as other colleagues in the bank. Cross-collaboration is a key competence that you will develop during the programme.
You will take personal responsibility and run collaborative activities as well as solve real business challenges and find solutions together with your colleagues. You will also learn - and influence - our culture, our values and our way of working.
