On-the-job learning: Straight from high school into the world of banking

Have you recently completed your high school education (preferably with an emphasis on business or economics) or completed a three-year commercial college (recognized by the Federal or regional government)? Perhaps you've already finished a few semesters at the university level but would now prefer to focus on more practical work?

Welcome to the Julius Baer Junior Program 

Tailored specifically for high school graduates, the Julius Baer Junior Program in German-speaking Switzerland includes the program "Introduction to the Banking Industry for High School Graduates". In this training program, which has been certified by the Swiss Bankers Association, you as a high school graduate have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the banking business thanks to a comprehensive curriculum and then to get to know your future professional occupation through on-the-job assignments.

Your training

In the Julius Baer Junior Program you complete two primary components in 18 months:

On-the-job The "On-the-job" component is divided into three 6-month apprenticeships, and in each one you work in a specific sector and thus get an insight into the world of banking. During this time you are supported by a professional advisor and also have the opportunity to work on a banking-related project.

Off-the-job The "Off-the-job" training takes place in two locations: first, in the "Center for Young Professionals in Banking" (CYP) in Zurich where you acquire a basic understanding of the banking industry; second, our own internal training program deepens your factual knowledge about Bank Julius Baer and also improves your working methods and social skills.

Upon the completion of your training, you receive the banking certificate "Bank Entry for Secondary School Graduates" that is certified by the Swiss Bankers Association. As a well-trained and talented junior staff member, you then have the opportunity to advance your career with Bank Julius Baer.
