Regional and Agribusiness clients span from large agricultural companies to local rural businesses and farmers. So we’re looking for people that are truly passionate about living and working in regional and rural communities.
As a graduate you will have the unique opportunity to attend joint visitations across our diverse client base so interpersonal skills to build meaningful relationships with a diverse client base is essential.

When you join our Graduate Program, you join as a full-time permanent employee. So you know we’re invested in you to transition from full-time study to full-time life!
The program centres around 4 key elements:
Shine: Contribute from day one by working on real projects that impact our business and our customers, within Australia’s largest bank.

Our 18 month rotational graduate program starting on 14th February 2022, gives you a taste of what it's like to work with Australia's best bank. You'll have the unique opportunity to have 4 rotations to give you a holistic understanding of what Business & Private Banking has to offer. At the end of the program, you'll roll off into the team and location you started the program in.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Client meetings, speaking with the frontline team regarding client files, administrative work
It will vary depending upon what department/business unit you are in. However in my circumstance I am an Graduate/Analyst; my daily task involve morning emails, attending to applications and strategy papers, lots of meetings, some longer one rife with information or short ones to provide updates. Then after a lunch with the team it is back into credit writing. Then finishing off the day with emails. There is always time for a coffee run with the team and some good quality banter.
My role involves balancing business and customer needs in innovative and strategic ways. Day to day, I work on projects that involve uplifting certain aspects of the CBA App. I also work towards my graduate development goals to ensure I make the most out of this experience.

As the company has the head office in Sydney, most of the teams are located there. If you are based in other cities, you may not have anyone in your team around you.
There is a level of competitiveness I find specifically in the Grad program cohort.
Limited career progression.
The over-importance of networking. You may not get as far as being 100% your authentic self.
With CBA being such a large organization, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate the ecosystem and find the right person who can help.
