EFG Graduate Programme 2026

Are you eager to start a fulfilling professional career in a global Private Banking group whilst developing and strengthening your skills and competencies? 

How the EFG Graduate Programme works?

Starting in September 2026 and over a period of 18 months, the EFG Graduate Programme offers a challenging and exciting opportunity for recent graduates. Tailored on individual skills, interests, and competencies, the programme provides an ideal opportunity to obtain wide-ranging experience in an international and fast-growing private banking group:

• You will start with a 2-week onboarding in Switzerland to discover EFG Mission, Vision and Culture and start building your professional network. 
• During the onboarding you will have the chance to attend specific trainings aimed at enhancing key competencies and communication skills. 
• Continuous learning opportunities to ensure you develop both personally and professionally to achieve full potential.
• Buddy and Mentor to accompany you throughout the programme.
• Truly global, we have positions based in Miami, London, Luxembourg, Geneva, Zurich, Lugano, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The EFG Graduate Programme comprises 3 professional paths in which you will equally experience our entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to excellence and innovative thinking.

• #EFG Business Functions 
• #EFG Corporate Functions 
• #EFG Digital and IT 

If you choose the Corporate Functions path, you will gain hands-on experience and insight into the key areas that support and drive the success of EFG.

As part of this path, you will complete a 6-month rotation in your preferred corporate function, allowing you to specialise and deepen your expertise. You will also undertake two additional 6-month rotations across other business units, broadening your understanding of the private banking industry.
