Trainee programmes in the insurance industry differ from other industries in that they usually have a longer duration in order to provide trainees with comprehensive training in different departments of the insurance company. In addition, insurance companies often place more emphasis on the technical training of trainees, as the industry is very complex and requires specific expertise. Trainees also have the opportunity to be directly involved in operations and thus develop a deeper understanding of the business. Support from experienced mentors is also often more pronounced in the insurance industry to help trainees develop.

The duration of the trainee programme depends on the area in which you complete the programme.Our trainee programmes usually last between 12 and 24 months.

The salary for joining the trainee programme varies depending on the area and field of work and is also dependent on experience. In principle, the salary is based on our collective labour agreement and is between €35,000 and €55,000 gross/year.
