Our Digital Graduate Programme

Start your career with us

Our Digital Graduate Programme is the starting point of an exciting journey at FWD. As you progress, you can guide us on the direction you’re hoping to take, and we’ll do our best to get you there. In the process, we’ll give you on-the-job training, exposure to exciting new projects, and access to some of the best minds in the business.

A new challenge every day

With an innovation focus, every day on our Digital Graduate Programme brings a new, exciting challenge.

You’ll have the chance to rotate across a range of departments and work on projects with real impact. You could be helping us use artificial intelligence to guide customers through purchases, finding ways to use blockchain in the claims journey, or even developing a new app that our customers will love.

Whatever your role or workstream, you’ll make a valuable contribution, work with talented teams, and be mentored by our leadership.

Merissa

Digital Graduate, FWD Group, Singapore

"FWD has a unique brand that I was excited to be a part of; its bold orange colour is representative of the energy that you instantly feel in its culture and people. By gaining broad exposure to different areas of FWD’s business, I’ve been able to learn new skills, explore my interests and grow both personally and professionally in a truly supportive environment. It’s been a great kickstart to my career and I’m excited for what the future now brings."

What you can expect

Learn from our leadership

We offer formal training and development, career guidance and mentoring from our leadership team, meaning you can expand your professional network.

Let you grow your own way

We offer three six-month rotational experiences across a range of departments but are happy to hear where your interests and ambitions are, and work with you accordingly.

We believe in the work of everyone

This means we value the work of everyone, whatever their role or workstream. So this is a chance to go beyond your potential, contributing your ideas and working directly with our teams.

Let’s see if we’re a good fit

We’re looking for:

Graduates with a Bachelor’s degree, preferably in a related discipline
Less than two years work experience
A strong interest in digital technology, demonstrated through internships or work experience

A simple application process

Submit your CV alongside a note that tells us in no more than 250 words: 1) how you consider yourself to be digitally savvy 2) something innovative you have done, and 3) why you’d like to join FWD.
If you’re shortlisted, you’ll receive a phone call from a member of our team, who will get to know you better over an informal chat.
Provided both parties are still interested, you’ll then be invited to our Forcefield Challenge, a half day assessment centre where you will be asked to complete both individual and group tasks, designed to simulate a typical day at FWD.
During this time, we’ll closely assess your performance before making the decision to offer successful candidates a place on our Digital Graduate Programme.
