IT Traineeship - Launch your career

What does this job entail?

How can you direct your career when IT is such a broad field? There's no obvious path, we know that too. That's why we've created this traineeship at KBC IT: a 30-month fast track with projects and assignments in various IT domains. Together with your coach (one of the general IT managers) and mentors, you'll get to know our corporate culture and discover where your talents really lie. Do you get a buzz from the content, or do you prefer to guide colleagues, or both?

What's more, you'll work on projects that give you valuable practical experience. Perhaps you'll contribute to digital applications which help us achieve our sustainability goals, offer our customers a better experience, or enable us to work in a more data-driven way. Perhaps you'll add your weight to our cybersecurity programme or contribute to a high-performance IT infrastructure.

What do we expect from you?

More specifically:

• 1. You have the opportunity to discoverthree of these six IT domainsin roles you'd prefer:
• Cybersecurity & IT risk management;
• Services & infrastructure;
• IT services for employees;
• Retail banking & insurances;
• Corporate & investments;
• Data & reporting.
• You will become acquainted with various domains within our IT, where Isabel Van Mele, as the driving force and CIO of IT, will help set the course. The first domain will be assigned to you based on the interview, the other two you will be offered options.Isabel's colleagues will think along with you about which domain and which team best suits you. So you're in good hands.
• After twelve months in the first domain, you'll switch to the next. After another nine months, you'll switch again. After 30 months you'll have completed various projects and assignments in three different IT domains.
  
  

What's important to us is that wherever you work, you work well together, communicate smoothly, and help each other grow. We want to make the most of the opportunities new technologies offer and that needs teamwork. So, after 30 months, you'll have built a considerable network.
