HSBC graduate schemes still running despite jobs losses

HSBC’s 2012 graduate recruitment programmes continue unaffected by recent announcements of job cuts elsewhere in the business, TARGETjobs Finance has learned.

The bank announced on Monday that it is cutting 330 jobs in the UK, primarily in commercial banking but also in retail banking, wealth and technology. ‘Every effort is being made to support impacted employees and redeploy as many people as possible within the bank,’ the BBC quoted Joe Garner, head of HSBC's UK bank, as saying.

Students and graduates interested in applying to HSBC graduate schemes can be reassured, however. Gregg Carnaffan, emerging talent manager at HSBC plc, told TARGETjobs Finance: ‘Our graduate roles for 2012 will remain unchanged. Our programmes are designed to fill critical, strategic roles in the future and so we will continue to recruit graduates into our business.’

HSBC is currently advertising a range of graduate schemes on targetjobs.co.uk. Its international management programme, customer propositions, technology & services management, commercial & corporate management trainee, executive management trainee, and retail management trainee programmes all have deadlines of 31 January.
