Students
We want to facilitate your integration into the world of the company. You will not only gain professional experience and receive individualised support, but you may also take advantage of an opportunity which could be a springboard to a career with us.
Internships: your first experience of the banking universe
Each year we offer many opportunities for internships in our network, in all regions of France. What is the advantage? You gain initial "hands-on" experience of operating activity, and the commercial initiatives we implement in our branches.
During your mission, you will have the time to show your potential and your commitment. Depending on the opportunities available in the network and your internship appraisal, we will jointly consider the possibility of recruitment.
Amélie
Bordeaux School of Management
"Société Générale operates in the world's main financial centres, and that opened up big opportunities for me.After two years at the Bordeaux Business School I felt I wanted to put the theory I had learned into practice, and so I decided to take a full-year internship.
I carried out my first six-month internship at SG New York as a credit analyst. I was able to discover the world of corporate finance from studies of client companies, their financial statements and their environment to their products and their competitors. At the end of this extremely worthwhile internship, I was eager to further my experience at Société Générale, but this time in France.
Today I am in Paris in the Strategy and Marketing Department. In fact I am the assistant of a product manager specialising in the international market. We provide support to SMEs operating internationally: we create products to suit their needs, we draw up commercial documentation, and instructions for the branches.
Alongside this mission, I am helping to draw up the brochures for each country and to redefine the SME offering. The internship is comprehensive, interesting and good training, and enables me to express all my creativity. I really appreciated being able to change posts, moving from finance to marketing, without changing company. In fact I wanted a broad perspective before choosing my specialisation in the 3rd year. Now I know what I want: to be taken on by the Société Générale Group."

Work-study contracts: learning while you work
For several years now, we have been opening our doors to young employees who are in the process of completing their studies. In January 2008, almost 1850 people were receiving training under work-study contracts in our teams.
Joining us on a work-study contract means continuing to work towards a qualification while learning about our corporate culture and working methods.
The work-study formula is open specifically to candidates with two types of profile:
- Candidates aiming to study for two-three years, who can ultimately aim for jobs as Individual Client Advisors, or Multimedia Client Advisors.
- Candidates aiming to study for four-five years, who can ultimately aim for the functions of Professional and Business Client Advisor, and may subsequently become Branch Managers.

Banking diploma
"I chose a work-study contract to prepare for my Banking diploma because this is the only training mode which offers, in addition to theoretical training, genuine, paid professional training. Last year, I joined a branch in the Paris region. When I arrived, we defined my functions with my coach, the Branch Manager. I started out as a Counter Advisor, and today I work in a two-person team with Individual Client Advisors.
This experience has enabled me to gain a good knowledge of the commercial professions of the branch, and gives me an advantage should I wish to join the Société Générale Group at the end of my contract."
