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

Brief description of the programme

This will be an excellent chance for you to get a view of the HSBC Group and HSBC Armenia, and in particular the values and business principles, code of conduct and core policies.

To make your internship worthwhile and mutually beneficial you will have the chance to get on-the-job training. You will get experience in our key business areas and enhance your knowledge of the financial services industry. At the same time, we will give you feedback on your performance to further enhance your skills and qualifications.
