Our programs

There are two programs in Investment Banking that you can apply for:

  • Full-time Analyst program
  • Summer Analyst program

Full-time Analyst program

The full-time Analyst program commences in February with a two-week intensive induction program which includes both Citi generic training, and business specific training. Once you have successfully completed this, you will then become a generalist within the Investment Banking group, working in a range of industry or product coverage groups before specializing in a field as your career with Investment Banking progresses. The Investment Banking Analyst program is 3.5 years long.

As part of the Analyst program you will attend a six week training program in New York in July with other Citi graduates from around the world. This formal training begins with orientation and induction sessions providing an overview of Citi and specifically Markets and Banking.

You will then complete a four week program of extensive classroom training, with skilled external corporate training consultants, along with selected internal instructors from within Citi. This comprehensive program is designed to cover the following fundamental aspects of the Analyst role:

  • Enhance confidence when extracting and assimilating financial information
  • Build robust financial models
  • Fundamentals of equity valuation
  • Become familiar with the standard Citi financial models
  • Understand key roles in the financial markets
  • Obtain an overview of the most important financial products

The program is organized with various social events to allow the class to network with each other as well as with senior banking professionals.

Summer Analyst program

Summer Analysts get exposure to a range of industry and product coverage groups based on their individual preferences as well as the needs of the business. The summer internship program commences in December with a 3-4 day training program. This begins with orientation and induction sessions during the first day that provide an overview of Citi and specifically Citi's Investment Banking Division.

You will then complete a series of classroom training, which will be carried out by skilled instructors drawn from within the business. This comprehensive program is designed to cover the following fundamental aspects of the Summer Analyst role:

  • Basic accounting and finance skills
  • Fundamentals of valuation
  • Citi's library and information services
  • External information systems e.g. Bloomberg, Reuters
  • Important financial products commonly used

Our training program is interactive and participative, ensuring that Summer Analysts play a full part in the learning experience thus making the training relevant, stimulating and effective. To support and compliment this training, we will focus on honing your computer and information/data gathering skills.

Throughout the program, we will continue to provide you with training and networking opportunities to make sure you gain an in depth knowledge of the whole of Citi. A mentor and a buddy will be also allocated to you to give you advice and support network. You will also have an opportunity to participate in various intern-wide events, including business presentations and social events.

During your time here we will be evaluating you for a full-time position on the Analyst program the following year. We do this through a mid term evaluation and a final term review. Remember that this is a two way process – it is an opportunity for you to evaluate whether this is where you want to take your career as well.
