Hear from our Grads
Andrea Dsilva, Risk Graduate
"Joining AIB as a graduate has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The culture is inclusive, welcoming and encourages collaboration across all levels. During my rotation across 3 teams, I was fortunate to work with supportive colleagues who were always willing to share their knowledge and expertise. The structure of the program is ideal for those exploring their career path, offering exposure to different areas. There is strong encouragement to pursue further qualifications, complemented by a wide range of training and development opportunities. With the opportunity to engage with senior leaders and participate in extra-curriculars, AIB truly is a great place to work.”
Miriam Luhr, Technical Risk Graduate
"From day one as a Technical Risk graduate, I’ve felt both welcomed and valued. The training offered throughout the scheme is highly enriching, contributing not only to my professional development but also to my personal growth. Apart from regular trainings, the grad programme provides an excellent opportunity to collaborate with various teams across the Risk function, allowing me to gain a more holistic understanding of the bank’s operations. It strikes a great balance between exploring various teams and being embedded in and meaningfully contributing to a permanent one. Another rewarding aspect is the built-in network of peers — your fellow grads who are always there to share insights, chat about career paths, or simply grab a coffee with."
Vishal Rohila, Technology & Data Graduate
"The AIB Graduate Programme has been a genuinely transformative experience. Over three rotations—as a Developer in Splunk, QA on the AIB Mobile app, and Business Analyst in Payments—I got hands-on exposure to different parts of the bank, each offering unique challenges and learning opportunities. I also had the chance to contribute to the Graduate & Apprentice Podcast (GAP), volunteer for causes I care about, and attend flagship events like the 2024 Sustainability Conference. These experiences helped me engage with the wider organisation and explore interests beyond my day-to-day role. What stood out most was the culture—open, inclusive, and filled with incredible people who were always willing to help. From building core technical skills to navigating cross-functional work and improving how I communicate, the programme pushed me to grow in practical ways. I’m finishing with a clearer sense of direction, valuable experience, and meaningful connections that I genuinely appreciate."
Katie Conlon, AIB Risk Graduate
"As a member of the AIB risk Graduate Programme, I have had the opportunity to gain broad exposure through the ever evolving and dynamic nature of Risk within the financial sphere. I am grateful that through this programme, I will get tailored and detailed experience within three rotations within Risk. This structure provides me with a deep understanding of risk management while enhancing my analytical and strategic thinking. Pivotal moments for me so far have been becoming the first graduate to MC a Risk Townhall, and the opportunity to sit down in conversation with SMT members to hear their career path and the trials and tribulations they faced on their journeys. Working with my experienced and intellectual colleagues, I have not only gained a theoretical knowledge of proceedings but also a practical understanding of putting the Customer First, and how these practices play out in real world scenarios. Therefore, the collaborative culture within this organisation – paired with real responsibility from an early stage has made my experience within AIB empowering, challenging and rewarding.”
