Depending on the specific placement, this could include areas such as AI development and implementation, business application of AI, data and analytics, or responsible AI and governance.

Hands-on exposure to how AI is applied within a financial-services environment.

Opportunities to contribute to real business projects or AI-related initiatives, with the scope varying by individual placement.

Experience working with colleagues across business and/or technology teams.

Exposure to responsible AI, governance and risk considerations where relevant to the assigned role.

Structured learning and mentorship during the internship.

Opportunities to strengthen analytical, problem-solving, collaboration and communication skills.

General Requirements

Current university undergraduate who meets the applicable YTP-AIF programme eligibility requirements.

Interest in AI and its application within financial services.

Curiosity, willingness to learn and an interest in solving real-world business problems.

Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication and collaboration skills.

Relevant academic, technical or domain knowledge may be required depending on the specific internship; these requirements will be set out in the individual role description.

Your Internship Could Be the Start of Something More
