To onboarding

"As a trainee at Hannover Re, you are part of the team right from the start. The learning curve is steep, but at the same time your colleagues take the time to explain things and involve you in their work. The trainee community is also a great learning environment: we regularly have lunch together and exchange insights with trainees from other departments, which helps you build a strong professional network very quickly."
