What Our Graduates Say

Kate Tarpey

Actuary

Professional and personal development is massively encouraged on the programme. For my actuarial exams, I was offered an attractive study scheme which rewards its students for exam progression through salary increases and exam bonuses.

Thomas Robertson

Accounting & Finance

Being able to be flexible in both the way I work, and in how I work has allowed me to become more focused on both colleague-to-colleague engagement and value-adding work contributions to my team. 

Nivali Mantramurthy

Business & Commercial

The best part of the Graduate Programme is the independence and power to choose which tasks to be a part of and how I structure my day. There are a number of supports that are in place for further learning, growth and internal movement.

A Day in the Life

Brian shares his experience from our Graduate Induction Day, including a memorable moment meeting our CEO.

"It's really exciting meeting loads of my new colleagues and hearing great insights from senior leaders within the Bank of Ireland Group".

More Than just a Career

Our purpose is to enable our customers, colleagues, and communities to thrive. That starts with a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported and empowered. We're passionate about investing in career development, wellbeing, and a strong sense of belonging.

To support this, we’ve created seven Employee Support Networks focused on inclusion, diversity, and community. Open to all, they offer great opportunities to connect, learn, and make a difference.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow, there's a place for you here -  and plenty of ways to get involved beyond your day-to-day role.

You Get a Lot. You Give a Lot Too.

Our colleagues are passionate about supporting the causes that matter most to them, from local initiatives to large-scale events.

Through our Begin Together programme, we empower colleagues to fundraise and volunteer for the charities close to their hearts. Each year, they can take one day of paid leave to volunteer and apply for matched fundraising, up to set limits.

Together, Bank of Ireland colleagues contribute over 1,000 volunteer days each year, raising millions of euro through charitable efforts.
