If you aspire to become an IT professional in a leading organization, the Rabobank Business & IT Traineeship is the perfect opportunity for you! Discover your possibilities during the Traineeship at Rabobank. 

This Traineeship is a good match for you if you know you like the work field of Business and IT, but not yet which exact role is perfect for you. Within these 18 months we offer you a chance to explore what we can offer in working in IT and what kind of future IT role suits you the best.

You & your future

In just 18 months, as part of the Business & IT track, you will learn the fine points of Rabobanks IT domain. You will have the opportunity to work at two to four different departments. 

The program is designed to give you a broad view of the IT organisation by offering rotations across departments. You can shape your own future! In addition to day-to-day work, trainees work on a side project and join Rabobanks trainee network in a personal development journey. A buddy system provides you with help in finding your way around the bank and joining social events. You will also receive coaching from a talent manager. After completing the 18-month program, youll have a strong foundation to further develop yourself within our bank. Its up to you to take initiative and pursue a permanent position, either at one of your rotation placements or elsewhere in the organization.

Join our dynamic team and expand your horizons through rotational opportunities. While your core responsibilities and skills remain consistent, you'll be challenged to apply them in new ways within different organisational contexts. Our learning objectives focus on agility, self-reflection, the importance of networking, but also complex stakeholdermanagement, balanced leadership and strategic thinking. During the rotations, you'll gain exposure to multiple business domains, moving to different teams and exploring new areas. This is your chance to grow both personally and professionally, making valuable connections along the way. 

You will learn as much as you can about several areas of Rabobank and use that knowledge within the IT domain where the paths cross each other to create value out of it for Rabobank, our customers and society as a whole. You contribute to create new or improve existing systems and processes.
