Post-secondary internships
Are you under 25 and have you earned a recognized secondary-school diploma? Are you looking for a way to apply your knowledge and get a start in the professional world as you continue to learn? Our 18-month post-secondary internships are the perfect way to learn about BCV's core business while continuing your training.
"The first thing I learned at BCV was its values: close ties, responsibility, performance, and professionalism. And I had the opportunity to practice those values during my internship, which consisted of three six-month assignments that gave me a broad overview of all the different banking activities. I started in a branch, then moved to wealth management in Private Banking, and then to Corporate Banking. The internship enabled me to learn more about financial markets – a field I’m particularly interested in – and get a job as an assistant client advisor in Private Banking. Of the many advantages of doing a post-secondary internship at BCV, I would highlight the excellent guidance and support you receive."Kevin Freire, former post-secondary intern
How does it work?
Over the course of 18 months, you will work in three business areas:
- Customer service and general client advising
- Investment advising
- Personal lending and business advising
Your training will be complemented by courses organized by the CYP (cyp.ch). These courses will provide you with a solid basis in banking products and services, the legal environment, and economics.
And after the internship?

You will have a number of options after your training. You can specialize in one of the fields you worked in at BCV, you can opt for in-house training in client advising, or you can enroll in an external program in order to earn a Swiss Federal Diploma in Banking and Finance.
