Graduation Project – FEC Design

Design delightful employee experiences that kickstarts your career!

Are you ready to turn your vision into reality and create solutions that impact thousands of professionals? Join

Your mission is to design a hands-on vision that brings clarity, making life better for everyone involved.

What You’ll Do

• Dive into UX and service design: research, ideate, and prototype solutions that work in practice, for analysts and the support team.
• Conduct user research and stakeholder interviews to understand real needs and technical limitations.Explore service blueprints, low- and high-fidelity prototypes and validate them with end users.
• Deliver a portfolio-ready project: a tested service design concept and interactive prototypes that showcase your skills.

Why you’ll love it

• Room to explore: Discover new ideas, test concepts, and shape solutions that work
• Experience the full design process: apply design thinking, from research to implementation, and have a direct impact on how Rabobank supports its employees.
• Learn from the best: Join our vibrant Design Chapter of 100 designers, attend stand-ups, design reviews, collaboration sessions and Chapter Days.

Practical details

• Period: +-20 weeks
• Hours per week: 36
• Location: Utrecht, Croeselaan 18 – we work hybrid
• Start date: Preferably February, but flexible
