Life After the Programme
After the programme, it's time to start thinking about your first permanent role. This will mean an increase in status, responsibility and, probably, salary. Most graduates choose to stay in the business area they joined, but the great thing about our graduate schemes is that you don't have to.
Almost all jobs are advertised internally on our website, so the skills and experience you've gained could land you a job practically anywhere in Barclays.
There are opportunities to work overseas, to be promoted within Tax and to lead on M&A projects or Revenue negotiations. Or you could decide to move within Barclays to other parts of the bank, like Finance, Treasury, Internal Audit or Risk. With a chartered accountancy qualification under your belt you'll find you're in great demand.
Whatever you do longer term, all we ask is that you commit to the area that you joined for the length of the programme so you can build up specialist knowledge. When it comes to making decisions, you'll find your graduate contacts are always on hand to help you weigh up the various options.
