You will be carefully guided, and active interaction will help you get clarity on what you want, how you work and thrive and what your passion is.

When applying to the Graduate Programme you choose one of the Recruiting Career Streams below. Each stream will give the graduate a home team that will host the graduate throughout the Programme. It is also this home team where the graduate will be offered to start their career after the Programme has ended. The streams are implemented for you to navigate and find your best starting point at Nordea. This means that the streams are not separate programme tracks, all graduates in Nordea follow the same programme structure no matter of the chosen stream. However, the learning by doing will of course differ depending on the chosen stream.

• Personalized Advisory – develop our customer offerings and unfold Nordea’s full potential by providing personal, tailored and inclusive advisory services to all Nordea's customers. (These positions are available in FI and NO)
• Risk & Security in the Digital era – protect Nordea so we can continue to be a safe and trusted financial partner to our customers and partners. (These positions are available in FI, DK and SE)
