    A trainee programme with a global perspective: risk analyses can be so diverse and international

    “For me, the KfW IPEX-Bank risk trainee programme is the ideal introduction to the banking world. International finance topics and business model analysis have already inspired me during my studies. With its global focus and sustainable financing projects, KfW IPEX-Bank offers me an excellent environment to put this interest into practice. I just love getting to the bottom of things.

    The focus of my trainee programme is on analysing financial information and business models as well as identifying risks to gain important insights for the credit process. As every company is unique and brings with it a wide range of challenges, this requires a differentiated approach.

    In this context, KfW IPEX-Bank is active as a specialist financier in a wide range of sectors – including industry & commerce, energy, mobility and infrastructure. This makes the work in the trainee programme particularly varied and exciting. Thanks to this diversity, I not only gain comprehensive insights into different market conditions and specific challenges, but also develop my analytical skills and gain valuable experience in the international financing landscape.

    As part of the trainee programme, you have the opportunity to get to know the entire bank. From my first day, I was impressed by the collegiality and supportive culture at KfW IPEX-Bank. Openness, respect and trust are the hallmarks of working together in the team. The close exchange with colleagues in the front-office department, who look at financing projects from a different perspective, is also particularly exciting, and the contact with experienced specialists is extremely instructive."

    Let’s shape the future together. Now! If you have any questions about the trainee program, please contact Thomas Krick at +49 (0)69 7431 8454.
