Our graduate schemes

The Nationwide Graduate Programme is a scheme with a difference. For one thing, we only take on a small number of graduates each year. This doesn't just mean that we're very selective about who we take on (which we are, undoubtedly) - but it also means we can devote more time and energy to your training. If you provide us with your motivation, drive and ambition, we’ll provide all the tools, training and support you need to kick start your career.

Everyone's experience of the programme varies because of the choice of placement options. Although one recurring theme is that everyone finds it as rewarding as it is challenging - take a look at the
video profiles of some people who've been there, done it and made it their own.

The Graduate Programme is typically made up of four six month placements and we offer you the choice of a variety of specialist areas. Three of your placements are spent in your chosen business area, with your fourth one spent in a different area of the business. This allows you to increase your business awareness and understanding, as well as giving you the opportunity to develop your skills.

Whichever scheme you choose, our aim is the same: to get you started in a career which you'll truly enjoy and in an area where you can give your best and make a difference.

What happens then?

For us, the goal is to help you continue to grow and develop into one of our next generation of senior managers. But of course, it's up to you where you go and what you do. Whatever your ambitions, we'll make them as achievable as we can for you. Our main hope? That you have an enjoyable and rewarding career that makes the most of everything you have to offer.
