Your career development opportunities

Would you like to get to know us before you commit? During an internship, you’ll gain a real insight into one of our bank’s departments – for two to three months, or in some cases five to six months. Placements start at the beginning of each month. You’re eligible to apply if you’re studying for a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree and have a good academic record. With us, you’ll get to know the bank, discover your opportunities and play an active part. For placements of up to three months and for compulsory placements, we pay you €1,500 gross per month; for longer placements during a gap year, the minimum wage applies.

We want anyone who undertakes an apprenticeship with us to stay on with us if they perform well – that’s why we offer apprenticeships. Even in your first year, we’ll pay you 1,496 euros gross per month, which is more than is usual in the industry. To ensure you can learn and work from home, we’ll provide you with your own laptop. We’ll provide you with additional training and development opportunities and take the time to support your personal growth. You’ll be supported by an experienced, motivated team who’ll treat you openly and honestly. Are you thinking about not continuing your degree? Then get in touch with us – we’d be happy to offer you the chance to do an apprenticeship with us.

During the 18-month trainee programme, you’ll get to know our various specialist departments and gain an insight into a subsidiary of the Helaba Group. You can start at any time of the year – we’ll work around your schedule. You should have a very good to good university degree, ideally relevant to the programme. You’ll dive straight into practical work, help shape our future and kick-start your career. You’ll be paid in accordance with pay scale 7 of the collective agreement for public banks – in your ninth year as a Bachelor’s graduate and your eleventh year as a Master’s graduate – plus 13 monthly salaries and a variable component.

Are you looking to kick-start your career after graduating or with some initial work experience? As a junior, you’ll join us directly in your chosen field, take on your own responsibilities from day one and grow into your target role ‘on the job’. Depending on the role and your previous experience, your induction period will last between 12 and 24 months. Throughout this time, we’ll support you with a personalised development plan, further training and opportunities to network within the organisation. We pay you in line with the collective agreement for public sector banks, including a 13th month’s salary and a variable component.

Have you already gained some professional experience and would you like to tackle the challenges of our industry with creativity and enthusiasm? Then bring your expertise and skills to one of our specialist departments. Your personality and potential are just as important to us as your professional knowledge. 

Even if you don’t have a traditional career background, you’re welcome to apply. You don’t need to know everything already – the closer you are to the role profile, the better your chances. In every job advertisement, we set out exactly what you need to bring to the role and what you can learn whilst working with us.
