11.03.2011

The European Central Bank (ECB) is seeking up to 12 highly talented recent postgraduates for its 2012 Graduate Programme. The ECB Graduate Programme (GP) is aimed at highly talented recent graduates with a postgraduate degree, preferably a PhD, in one of a broad range of disciplines and with a keen interest in central banking. Whilst many of the ECB’s functions would benefit from participants with a background in (macro-)economics, the GP is also open to those with a different academic background. Candidates must be nationals of a Member State of the European Union.

 

The two-year programme gives participants a unique development opportunity and valuable on-the-job experience, as well as an insight into the ECB’s tasks and working methods from the perspectives of different functional areas. The participants also gain an overview of the policy-making processes of the ECB. Participants are given two challenging one-year assignments each to be carried out in a different division of the ECB, allocated on the basis of their field of expertise and in line with the organisational needs of the Bank. They will contribute fully to the work of the divisions to which they are appointed. During the second year of the programme, they are also expected to write a project paper which will form the basis of their appraisal. GP participants benefit from a number of in-house as well as external training opportunities, such as area-specific technical training, writing skills, IT, personal and interpersonal skills, task and information-oriented skills and languages. Participants in the programme are assigned a mentor (an experienced staff member) who will provide them with support, advice and guidance. The successful completion of the programme by each participant will be assessed by a GP Committee.
