Barclays Capital is the investment banking division of Barclays Bank PLC, offering strategic advisory, financing and risk management solutions to large corporate, government and institutional clients.
Barclays Capital has more than 20,000 people in offices around the world, and has the global reach and distribution power to meet the needs of issuers and investors in all the major financial markets. Graduate and internship opportunities are offered in areas right across the firm, both in front office roles such as Investment Banking, Sales and Trading, and also infrastructure areas such as Technology, Marketing & Human Resources.
The graduate programme is the key to the success of Barclays Capital.
Senior managers across the firm are intrinsically involved in graduate training, giving graduates a remarkable degree of insight and exposure from the moment they join. The programme starts with an intensive introduction to the firm, their products, instruments and services, and the wider financial markets. Graduates will gain more than a theoretical understanding, with a variety of case studies, workshops and presentations giving invaluable practical knowledge. They can also expect comprehensive role–specific training, plus soft skills development.
As well as full-time opportunities, 10-12 week summer internships are offered and off-cycle opportunities, depending on business need. In all cases, interns will find themselves at the heart of the action. They’ll gain real experience in a real role, working on anything from live transactions and marketing projects to research and analysis, depending on the business area. As well as benefiting from extensive training before and during the programme, there are opportunities to network with intern colleagues, recent graduates and senior members of the firm.
