About Our Graduate Program

Kick‑start your career with the Rabo Graduate Program! Our unique 18‑month journey is designed to launch graduates into meaningful, purpose‑driven roles at Rabobank. You’ll rotate across diverse parts of the business, from collaborating at our Sydney head office, to supporting clients in our regional and rural branches, to potentially taking on an international assignment in our global HQ in Utrecht, all while contributing to Rabobank’s mission of Growing a Better World Together.

Rural Banking Graduate

As a bank dedicated to agriculture,



our regional and rural branches support the innovative farmers and agribusinesses who put food on our tables every day. The Rural Banking Graduate Stream offers you the opportunity to work in these branches, gaining valuable skills and knowledge that will help add value to our clients, build meaningful relationships, and help support our farmers to grow more with less. No two days are ever the same – you will be guided by experts on maintaining and growing client portfolios, conducting credit reviews, undertaking financial analysis, and bringing innovative ideas to add value for our clients.

To develop a well‑rounded knowledge of the bank, you will also be placed on two short‑term rotations within risk and compliance and operations. Selected graduates will also be placed on a short‑term international rotation to connect with colleagues in our global head office in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
