Standard Chartered(International Graduate Programme - Corporate Real Estate)

At Standard Chartered Bank
We're looking for the future leaders of Standard Chartered Bank and the International Graduate Programme is the springboard for you to achieve this. We're looking for the best and the brightest talent in the market to join one of business functions as part of our two-year programme.

What we will teach you

The International Graduate Programme gives you a variety of teaching, we dedicate time in your learning and business exposure as we want to give the best start to your career. From day one you'll become part of an international community and grow your global network. You'll have exposure to different cultures and working styles and have an incredible opportunity to take part in our International Induction programme in Malaysia.

International travel

Whilst being an international graduate doesn’t mean you’ll be jumping on planes and being relocated in multiple countries – there may be some travel. Opportunities to work abroad are far more likely to happen after you’ve developed an expertise in your initial location.
One thing that sets our programme apart is the people we hire - we recruit graduates from such different backgrounds and experiences and yet they join us with one common thread of having an international mindset and drive to be the best. Our recruitment process is challenging - but so is Banking, its tough, but you need to be to succeed and its rewarding - hand in hand with a future with us. We want you to take this process seriously and give yourself a chance to be one of our success stories.
