Early Careers Programs
Find out how to kick-start your career in a global fintech. Here you can find more information about the programs we have available and the application process to get your started at Wise.
Graduate roles
A graduate at Wise is a student in their final year of university or who graduated a year ago, from either a Bachelors or a Masters degree. This is usually their first full time position but they will get real responsibility from day one, alongside coaching from your lead and team.
All of our graduates are full-time employees of Wise! We’ll have a global start date for all of them in September. This way, we ensure they have finished their studies, and also that they can build a network of peers around them for support.
Internship programs
At Wise all our interns are current students. They are in their penultimate year of study, prior to finishing their university degree (it could be a Bachelors or Masters). A Wise intern will join us for 10 paid weeks over the summer to work with us in Software Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, FinCrime and more! After this, they’ll go back to university to finish their final year.
“Being an intern at Wise has been an unforgettable experience because I now truly know what it’s like to be part of a community that respects their employees and their customers equally and constantly makes sure to exceed their expectations.”
Jasleen, Wise Intern 2021Apprenticeships
We know that going to university isn’t the route for everyone. So, at Wise we also offer apprenticeships, where you can learn and develop as you work. Currently our apprenticeship opportunities are London based only, as part of a UK government initiative.
Joining Wise as an apprentice is a brilliant way to learn on the job. You’ll be exposed to a mix of classroom learning with our learning provider, and ‘on the job’ training. All apprentices are required to spend 80% of their time working on their day job, and 20% of their time away from their desk in classroom training. But don’t worry, you’ll be supported by an apprenticeship coach throughout all of this.
At Wise we partner with Multiverse. Please keep your eye on the vacancies they have and make an application to them directly for roles with us or any other employer. It would be a good idea to start your conversation with Multiverse now, so that when we have roles available, you are ready and able to apply!
