ITP OPS

International Talent Programme – Operations & Change

Are you a young graduate with global ambitions eager to develop your leadership potential?

ING offers you the chance to make the absolute most of your talent on a traineeship within the bank: the International Talent Programme (ITP). During the traineeship ING will invest in your future now to develop the leaders of tomorrow.

At the beginning of your traineeship you’ll rotate between different projects and departments within Operations & Change (COO) area. After your rotations, you get to choose two long term positions based on your experience and area of interest.

What we offer/ What makes this traineeship awesome
This is a comprehensive programme that provides talented graduates with the knowledge, skills and on-the-job experience to become ING’s future leaders. We offer you the chance to shape your own ideas about banking in a receptive environment.
The program is truly international with over 100 trainees in 14 different countries. For each year of the programme there will be a global event designed as a bootcamp to develop your personal skill in the process.

What your first 6-month rotation will let you focus on

In the first rotation you will contribute to the ING Transformation Office. ING has started on a very ambitious growth journey. The transformation office focuses on digitizing and optimizing the COO area to be ready to service this growth in an effective way. You will be part of the program team, adopting specific initiatives and analyses. This allows you to develop your analytical skills, program management skills, stakeholder management skills and immediately deliver impact for ING. It also allows you to get to know many parts of the bank.

What about your second rotation

With these new experiences and contacts, you are in charge to arrange your second rotation (6 months). Now it comes down to addressing your network and taking the initiative, you could also take the opportunity of an international experience in one of the other ING countries in the world to strengthen 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 (6 months). Are you broadening your knowledge within your track, or would you like to explore an area within another track? Both of them are an option for this rotation!

During your third rotation you will set the stage for your fixed position, in the same COO Transformation office in which you landed at the beginning of the program, or in another position of your interest among the available opportunities within ING..
