Lorem Ipsum

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
The two years with the IPDP has provided me with the skills, network, and fulfillment that I needed to start my career on the right foot. My onboarding experience was above beyond me expectations and from the first day at RBC, I quickly immersed in the vibrant and diverse culture. It was truly special to feel valued for my expertise from day one. The experience of connecting with 3 areas of the bank and an external charity rotation have broadened my views on the social and economic impact that we can make as a financial institution and community partner. The opportunities that the IPDP provided me goes beyond just a job, it has provided me with a future.

Working with an Indigenous non-profit organization is something I will never forget. During my rotation I not only helped my local indigenous youth and community, I had the opportunity to work with, learn about and learn from indigenous cultures all across Canada. In addition to all this I learned valuable work skills that I took back with me to RBC.

The Indigenous Peoples Development Program has allowed me to explore different areas of Personal & Commercial Banking and discover what I am most interested in. Completing four rotations is allowing me to learn new skills, meet new people and achieve my goals. I have had the opportunity to do meaningful work that makes an impact at RBC and at an Indigenous community organization. Two years in the program allows for tremendous growth and development which will have a lasting influence on my future!

Associate, Indigenous Peoples Development Program
During my charity rotation I was able to make a positive impact through my work on the social impact team at RBC. My assignment was to complete a research report on how COVID-19 was affecting various groups of people in Canada, which included looking at Indigenous communities. As this research would be used to inform decisions around donations from the RBC Foundation, I feel I made a great impact.
