Cadetship Program - Research (Rolling Intake)

About UBS Global

UBS is the world’s largest and only truly global wealth manager. They operate through four business divisions: Global Wealth Management, Personal & Corporate Banking, Asset Management, and Investment Bank. Their global reach and the breadth of their expertise set them apart from their competitors.

Your role

In the Cadetship program, you’ll get to join one of their teams within UBS. You’ll still be working toward your university degree course while getting the opportunity to be a real part of the team, working with their experts and learning about the industry, their clients, their firm and a specific area of it. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts.

About you

Qualifications:

You need to be graduating high school this year. It doesn’t matter what you’re studying. (Really, it doesn’t.) But they’d like to see evidence that you can:

• analyze a problem, take a view and come to a decision
• plan, organize and communicate well
• make things happen
• stick with a task
• work in a team
• come up with ideas

Perhaps you’ve organized a fundraising event or taken part in team sports? Or persevered and passed an exam in a subject you found challenging? Think about how the things you’ve achieved match the skills after.

Benefits

At UBS, they understand that a good work/life balance is pivotal to their employees’ overall well-being and to their job satisfaction, and therefore productivity. That’s why they work hard to ensure their employees, whatever their needs, are supported throughout the employee lifecycle. Their employee benefits and award-winning programs detailed below make sure they can do just that.

1. Family
2. Flexible working
3. Mental health
4. Recognition and commitment

Training & development

Aside from the experience you’ll gain in your role, UBS believes that additional opportunities to grow should be open to everyone. This can be through job shadowing, a carefully designed curriculum, or UBS University. UBS University is helping its employees build skills to use now, along with new capabilities for the future.
