Rise
Our Insight programmes are aimed towards first-year university students and have been designed to provide an immersive experience and exposure to the world of banking or technology. On each programme, you’ll get guidance and mentorship from our senior managers, build in-depth relationships with Deutsche Bank employees and understand what their day-to-day looks like. Take a look at the programme outline below to see if this is the one for you.
Programme overview
Rise is a five-day programme aimed towards students of Black heritage to provide an introduction to Deutsche Bank and the different divisions we have within the organisation. This programme is for people who are looking to learn more about the opportunities for students within the banking and finance industry.
During the programme you will be invited to participate in structured workshops/masterclass sessions delivered by the Recruitment team to help you improve your employability skills. We also provide opportunities for you to speak to and learn from senior colleagues and recent graduates through networking sessions and panel discussions.
You will learn about the various opportunities we offer across the bank and develop career skills including creating your personal brand, CV and interview preparation including mock interviews, to help you navigate the application and assessment process at Deutsche Bank. You will network with fellow students on the programme virtually and in-person through group activities and informative networking events.
Outstanding students on the Rise programme will be eligible to apply for our Summer Internship programme for the following year.
