With further liberalization of China's financial market under the WTO commitment, HSBC continues to expand its business in mainland China. HSBC is seeking high caliber individuals with strong interest in banking industry and potential to become tomorrow's managers to join them as Banker Trainees.

24-Month Programme

Our 24-month Banker Development Programme (“BDP”) is designed to give graduates a balance of banking industry knowledge, analytical decision-making capabilities and people management skills. This provides the foundation to support long-term development as a specialist in commercial banking up to senior management levels.

The BDP family includes the following specific streams

	• Global Banking
	• Commercial Banking
	• Retail Banking and Wealth Management
	• HSBC Technology and Services
	• Legal & Compliance
	• Credit Risk Management
	• HSBC Securities Services
	• Trade and Supply Chain
	• Global Payments and Cash Management

All the above streams will provide you with dynamic and challenging classroom training, on-the-job training and attachment across a wide range of banking functions in Mainland China as well as an attachment in Asia Pacific. This experience will allow you to build the managerial and technical skills needed for future development and more senior management responsibilities in our mainland China business. High performing trainees will be nominated to attend a demanding but highly rewarding classroom training programme in the HSBC Group Training Centre in the UK. Long-term career development is supported by ongoing HSBC Group training. 

Career

The key objective of the HSBC Banker Development Programme is to provide the foundation for a career as a specialist banker. This means that you will gain targeted exposure to Personal Financial Services, Commercial Banking, Corporate & Institutional Banking and Operations as a banker trainee. The other major aspect of the training is to equip you with the personal qualities and soft skills to become an effective manager. 

Your aspirations should be to take on management responsibility early in your career. Given our strategic plan and commitment to being the leading foreign bank in China, the opportunities for development are exceptional. This may offer you the chance to work away from your home city in mainland China. In fact, there are no limitations or restrictions on your promotion and development, apart from your potential to gain the necessary knowledge and skills. As an international organization, HSBC offers the possibility of your career taking you almost anywhere in the world, although it is expected that the specialist knowledge you gain of the fast-emerging China market will prepare you ideally for career development in the Mainland.


Mentoring and Training Support

HSBC is committed to the training and development of talent. For the duration of the programme, you will have solid support as follows: 

Mentoring: A senior manager will serve as your mentor to provide coaching and guidance to you. Close guidance from managers on a day-to-day basis

Regular performance feedback and discussion from your managers on your strengths, development areas and career aspiration for developing an appropriate career plan

Training: You will receive extensive training in management, products and systems, and on-the-job training. The programme offers all the right tools for you to build a strong foundation for your career with HSBC.

Ongoing Training: Quality ongoing training, mentoring and development ensure that you never step off the learning curve, but your own motivation and commitment will determine your ultimate destination and achievements within HSBC.

As the world's local bank, we can offer the possibility of your career taking you almost anywhere in the world, although it is expected that the specialist knowledge you gain will ideally position you for development to senior levels in our local or regional businesses.
