FuturePros is an annual Danske Bank Lithuania talent development programme for students, recent graduates, or reskilled specialists.

The programme started in June 2019, and since then 76 new ambitious colleagues have joined our organisation, 71 are still working at the bank and 30 have already got permanent positions!

What's in it for you?

  • The programme is aimed to allow participants to combine work with studies, kick-start their careers in an international organisation and gain valuable practical knowledge with a possibility to become permanent employees at Danske Bank in two years!
  • We offer you flexible or part-time working regime, in case you’re still studying. In addition, you are entitled to educational leave indicated in Labour Code in addition to the standard annual leave. This leave is unpaid by the law, but Danske Bank covers 5 days of this leave per calendar year. 

  • Programme puts a strong focus on learning & development of hired FuturePros. Apart from the Buddy assigned to every new employee of Danske Bank, we organise various meetups throughout the year. From getting to know our organisation – it’s structure, culture, processes, tools or technologies we use (e.g. private cloud, data science, mainframe, DevOps, robotics), to learning about critical soft skills, like communication, stakeholder management, emotional intelligence, or giving the feedback. In addition to that, we seek to strengthen the community and build the network among participants, hence, there are social events organised several times per year. 

    Of course, our FuturePros can also participate in all the other professional or social events, happening at Danske Bank, organised by our colleagues in Lithuania or globally.
  • It is not another internship where you work for free. We do offer a competitive salary for your input into our organisation’s success!
  • You will be eligible to all Danske Bank Lithuania benefits such as health insurance, additional holiday days, office perks like our canteens, gyms, game rooms, various discounts for services and other great deals! Check it our here.

FuturePros stories


  • "I received my bachelor's degree in economics from Vilnius University and had no previous experience in the information technology field. Prior to joining the FuturePros programme, I worked in Accounting and Asset Services, and with the help of supportive new colleagues and the opportunity to learn new things every day, I was able to completely change my career path."
