An overview of our Graduate Traineeship

What you can expect

While all new traders and software engineers around the world come together in one of our global offices at the start of their traineeship, each group has a dedicated program: the Trading Academy and the Development School. Both programs are a combination of structured technical learning, interactive games, quizzes, exams and social events, designed to prepare you for success at IMC.

We don't require any industry experience. All you need to know about financial markets will be taught during the traineeship and we really go that extra mile for you. We invest the best resources in teaching you as effectively as possible with a team of experienced traders and software engineers across all of our offices.

The first few weeks of the traineeship are spent as a global group, during which you will travel to two of our offices. Having an effective network and good relationships are really important at IMC. So this is a great chance for you to see the different parts of our business and forge friendships with colleagues.

We will pair you with a mentor who’ll help you settle in and teach you everything you need to know. You can ask anything you want so you learn all you need to get up to speed and set for success.

At IMC, we never stop learning. So, after your traineeship, we’ll encourage you to continue learning through training and development opportunities provided by IMC and external experts. We offer industry-leading personal development and skill-based training. Development opportunities range from short courses to supporting masters degrees.

Sharing is a great way to make friends so you’ll share a furnished, serviced apartment near the office, fully equipped with everything you need. The building offers a swimming pool and gym, and is situated in the business district of Amsterdam with many places for food and drinks nearby. That will make it easy for you to plan your agenda, explore the city and meet up with colleagues. We also arrange teambuilding and social events to help you build relationships across IMC.

The traineeship is held twice per year in February/March and August/September. The Trading Academy is held over 6 weeks, followed by a local trading academy held over 7 to 9 weeks. The Development School is typically held over 5 weeks.
