 The Volontariat International en Entreprise (VIE) program
| |
Because of the emphasis Calyon puts on international development and on placing recent graduates in its teams, the VIE program is a real springboard for a career within the Group. Operating in 58 countries, Calyon guarantees a unique professional experience.
Every year, Calyon has about 100 VIE positions available for young European students who have completed five years at university in its subsidiaries in the United States, Asia, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe and Africa.
The assignments are highly varied: assistant saler / trader, M&A, management control, corporate credit analysis, project finance, IT/project development, market risk analysis, and more.
What is the VIE program?
It provides a path to an initial position in another country and real responsibilities in the host company, under a special civil servant status: the VIE intern is under the authority of the local French Embassy.
Working in a different cultural environment, VIE interns develop essential assets: foreign language skills, discovery of new horizons, curiosity about other cultures and adaptability to various organizational and management patterns.
In the current economic environment, the internationalization of exchange, teams and professional mobility are crucial.

Internships | |
An internship at Calyon provides the opportunity for students to contribute to completing professional projects, while sharing in the company's values and culture. It is an opportunity for valuable interactions, and it provides an excellent way to learn about the Bank's business lines while gaining a better understanding of theory.
Calyon sets great store by the quality of the assignments it offers as a means of identifying future employees. Calyon has already offered about 600 internships for the current year (vs 470 in 2006).
Intern recruitment is particularly oriented toward those who have completed Bac +4/5 studies, given the highly technical nature of the assignments. All Calyon internships are governed by three-way agreements signed by Calyon, the student and the student's educational or training institution.
Calyon offers many opportunities for internships for a minimum of 6 months, in all its core businesses (corporate finance, capital markets and investment banking) as well as all support functions (IT, risk, human resources, finance and audit).

When they join Calyon, interns are fully involved in reaching the company's goals and they are tutored by their intern supervisor. A student is treated as a co-worker in every way from the moment of arrival at the Group.
An internship at Calyon, a leading player in the financial markets, gives students a valuable, confidence-building experience. It may also take the form of a pre-employment position. Internships are an important transition between the education and business environments. They are an ideal way to acquire the necessary competencies and experience to succeed in the job market.

Student positions | |
For the last two years Calyon has been implementing a dynamic policy of taking on sandwich course students. For 2007, 83 such contracts have already been executed (vs 54 in 2006). The students alternate periods of classroom education in the student's educational or training insitution and on the job training in the company.
The assignements are just as diverse and varied as the Group can be within the support functions (Finance department, Human Resources, etc.) and back offices of its CIB activities.
These student positions take place over one or two years, depending on the length of the student's course of studies. The young students are hired as Calyon employees under an apprenticeship contract or a pre-professional contract. A real staff member, the student follows an operational and professional training while earning a salary.
Among the most valuable educational experiences a student can have, these positions provide students with a way to become fully operational business professionals upon the completion of their classroom and practical training while meeting the company's requirements in terms of competence.
