On the Job Training

While in training, associates rotate into various SVB business units to receive hands-on training in areas such as credit risk assessment, loan portfolio management and client management.  Associates collaborate with business unit members to complete work, develop skills to take on additional responsibilities and hone interests in business units they might join once the program has been completed.
