Serena's story
Every day at Standard Chartered is different, but as a Graduate, our days are typically structured to ensure we get the full benefit of the programme. Welcome to a day in my life as a Graduate in the Corporate, Commercial and Institution Banking (CCIB) team at Standard Chartered, Shanghai. In the final year of my Bachelor's degree, I interned at an investment firm and I loved how banking can empower clients in their operations.

Nathan joined Standard Chartered’s as an International Graduate in 2020 after his time as a summer intern in 2019. After studying abroad in the UK to broaden his exposure to international markets, Nathan returned to his home country to take advantage of the opportunities born from China’s strides in FinTech and utilise his experience within Western markets to work with high-profile clients hoping to expand overseas.
