The role

If you're ambitious, curious and enjoy solving problems, our Data & Analytics Industrial Placement provides an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience while exploring a future career in banking. Build practical data, analytics and AI skills through real business challenges, meaningful responsibility and structured development. Help turn data into insight, strengthen risk management and influence decisions that improve outcomes for customers and colleagues. Looking for a rewarding career in banking? Good things this way.

What you'll be doing on the Data & Analytics Industrial Placement - Risk

Our Data & Analytics Industrial Placement is a 12-month programme designed to combine practical experience, professional development and real workplace learning. This isn't a placement spent watching from the sidelines. From day one, you'll contribute to meaningful work while receiving the support needed to learn and grow.

Your placement begins with induction, development support and structured learning designed to help you settle in, build confidence and understand the role you'll be performing. Alongside this, you'll join a 10-month collaborative project with other Industrial Placement students from across Nationwide. Throughout the placement, you'll gain hands-on experience while following a personalised learning pathway tailored to your role. Workshops, simulations and on-the-job learning will help you continue developing your skills and confidence.

The placement offers an opportunity to experience how data, analytics and AI support decision-making across a major financial services organisation. Rather than specialising immediately in one area, you'll gain broad experience and develop a better understanding of where your interests and strengths lie.

No two days are the same. Activities could include analysing data, identifying trends, supporting risk assessments, reviewing controls, improving business processes and helping colleagues make evidence-based decisions.

Working across teams, you'll help transform information into insight, supporting improvements that create meaningful value for customers, colleagues and the wider organisation.

Exposure to analytics, AI and risk management will help build both technical and professional capability. Along the way, you'll develop transferable skills in communication, stakeholder engagement, problem solving, analytical thinking and business improvement.

There will also be opportunities to explore emerging technologies and AI-enabled approaches while contributing to projects that improve how Nationwide manages risk and makes decisions.

Successful completion of the placement may help shape future career choices and could provide a route into one of our Skills Development Programmes after university.
