About UBS
UBS is a global organization in which people from 140 nations put their talents, experience and skill to work for clients in more than 50 countries around the world every day. At the same time, we are a collection of local communities. Our roots lie in Switzerland, but our personality reflects the varied cultures in the many different markets we call home.
Horizons Program at UBS
As a leading financial services firm, one of UBS’s main purposes is to create long-term value. UBS, together with its employees, seeks to have a positive influence on the social and environmental well-being of local communities in which it is active. This belief in giving back to the community led to the creation of the UBS Horizons Program.
The Program aims to recruit ambitious students who believe in our values and who have a strong interest in beginning their career with UBS, to invest in our communities. This program will give students graduating in 2017, from a European university, the opportunity to challenge themselves by travelling abroad with Raleigh International to work on community or environmental projects in the summer of 2015. If you are successful you may find yourself building community education facilities or supporting rainforest conservation programmes on a 5-week Raleigh expedition to Borneo, Costa Rica, or Tanzania. At the end of your chosen project, you will embark on a week-long adventure challenge. This could involve raft building, trekking through rainforest and competitive survival activities.
This experience will provide you with the opportunity to gain transferable skills that you can use in your career. You will:
- Learn how to build and maintain relationships through working with individuals from diverse cultures in the Raleigh volunteer teams
- Develop resilience to get things done and perform to a high standard
- Improve communication and influencing skills
- Improve planning and decision making skills
- Learn to be more innovative by sharing ideas and identifying opportunities to improve methods and processes
Once you complete this incredible journey you will have valuable skills that will help you stand out from your peers, but we want to help you develop your skills further. You will be invited to the 2015 Insights Program prior to your expedition for a one week look into the UBS offices. In the summer of 2016 you will be a part of the UBS internship program where you can really show what you have learned. Your new skills, coupled with your interest in a career in Investment Banking will provide you with the opportunity to launch your career.
During the internship program UBS will look to you for your individual and unique way of contributing to the organization. You will be working with a team where you will have the opportunity to voice your ideas and receive feedback through our collaborative working culture. Through the community or conservation project work you did the summer before you will be prepared for the internship and prove to be a great part of our team.
