15 new trainees have begun their careers in ERGO’s RISE trainee programme. The two-year programme offers university graduates and young professionals the opportunity to gain practical experience in various areas of the ERGO Group, expand their network and further develop their professional and personal skills.
The new trainees were selected from around 1,650 applicants through a multi-stage selection process. With the start of the new cohort, all 15 places on the programme are now filled.
Our trainee programme makes a crucial contribution to the future viability of our company. By attracting qualified young talent at an early stage and developing them through targeted placements in various areas, we ensure that we will continue to have the knowledge and skills we need for our success in the future. I am delighted to welcome our new trainees and wish them a successful start and an enriching time with us.
Insights into various areas of the ERGO Group
During their very first week, the new trainees gained insights into key areas of the company, including strategy, talent management and professional development. Networking and team-building were also central to the programme.
Over the course of the two-year programme, participants will gain experience in various areas of responsibility within the ERGO Group. The aim is to develop a broad understanding of the company and of how to collaborate across departmental and national boundaries.
The programme includes, amongst other things:
placements in various departments of ERGO Deutschland AG
Placements in sales and operations
Customisable work shadowing placements in other business units
Opportunities for international assignments within the ERGO Group
Professional and personal development opportunities
As a former programme manager, I am delighted that we have once again been able to attract talented trainees to ERGO and that I have already had the pleasure of meeting them all in person. It is particularly pleasing for me that David Kunkel, a former RISE trainee, has now taken over as programme manager and that the trainee programme remains part of my team. I wish all the trainees a successful start from the bottom of my heart, lots of exciting experiences, valuable contacts and, above all, plenty of scope to grow both professionally and personally.
Individual support and development
The trainees receive individual support throughout the programme. In addition to guidance from programme director David Kunkel, they are supported by mentors as well as contact persons in their respective departments. These individuals assist the participants with their work rotations as well as their professional and personal development.
Our trainee programme offers the chance to get to know many different areas of the company, as well as the people working there and the perspectives they bring, in a short space of time, and to build a broad understanding of our organisation. As a former trainee, I know from my own experience just how formative and valuable these insights can be. I look forward to accompanying the new trainees on their journey and supporting them in their development.
