Société Générale has adopted an active policy of employing young people as trainees, entering into numerous partnerships with higher education establishments both in Russia and abroad.

We offer part-time or full-time jobs, and internships lasting three months to one year, during your period of studies. The aim: to give you valuable professional experience in order to facilitate your entry into professional life.

The tasks assigned to you will give you the opportunity to show your potential and prove your commitment. Depending on positions available within the network and subject to a short appraisal, your subsequent recruitment will be examined.

Your first step towards a successful career in  Societe Generale can be to take part in CITIZEN ACT, an international business game focussed on development of socially responsible banking practices for tomorrow. Students have to form a team of three persons and create an innovative project in this perimeter.

For youngsters CITIZEN ACT is a perfect chance to demonstrate their social commitment, obtain inestimable practical experience and research a potential employer. The authors of the best projects will be given an opportunity to present their ideas in Societe Generale Headquarters in Paris.

Almost 250 teams from dozens of countries participated in CITIZEN ACT in 2011. Three teams from Russia  (Irkutsk State University, Moscow State University and Siberian Federal University) were invited to France for the final stage of the business game. The team from Irkutsk with the project about soft bank lending for rural entrepreneurs has moved up to the TOP 10.
