Basic requirements and structure of our trainee programmes

If you are graduating within the next year or have graduated during the past year, then you have come to the right place. Our trainee programmes usually last 18 months long and are divided into blocks of 3- to 4-month. You will develop your skills through selected training courses, specialist seminars and independent projects. You will be mentored by experienced colleagues, get to know different business areas, and spend up to three months at one of our international locations. Together, we will map out your professional future with us.
