Internship programme

At HSBC we offer internship programmes to suit your career needs and to apply to at a certain stage of your university education.

• Assist you to obtain required practical experience and to complete your qualifications
• Enable HR to compile a comprehensive database of prospective employees for future recruitment purposes. If you are successful you will be included in our resourcing reserve pot, hence getting the first priority in external hiring based on your skills and practical knowledge obtained during the internship
