Jenny Capplis – AIB Capital Markets Graduate

1. How was your experience on the AIB Graduate Programme?

My experience on the AIB graduate programme has been exceptional. The training and exposure I have received since starting has been incredible. As part of the graduate programme, I have the option to do two rotations in different areas. This in turn has helped me gain knowledge in multiple areas. As part of the Capital Markets Graduate Programme, I have had the opportunity to pursue additional professional qualifications such as CFA, ACCA and QFA. Another great tool offered to AIB staff is iLearn, where you can complete courses that may help you with your role in the bank but there are also courses which are designed to help with developing interpersonal skills.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In five years’ time, I still see myself in AIB. AIB is such a large organisation, and it is somewhere that promotes trying out new areas. If I can, I would love to experience different areas of the bank, to truly understand the wide offering that AIB has.

3. Would you recommend the AIB Graduate Programme to others? Why?

I would absolutely recommend the AIB graduate programme to others. When leaving college, it can be difficult to know what you want to do. However, this Graduate programme has a wide range of supports that help you establish what you want from your career. You are also given the opportunity to pursue professional qualifications, and receive generous study leave for these exams. In AIB no two days are the same. It is an extremely exciting place to work, especially for someone who is starting their career.
