Your working-student program - Your future

Vanessa completed her bachelor’s and master’s degree in economics in Dresden. During this time, she was a working student in the Business Client division before joining us as a graduate trainee there.

‘Working student Business Clients at HypoVereinsbank’ - When I saw this ad on LinkedIn, I thought: This sounds like a great opportunity to combine my studies with practical experience! I had recently completed my business degree with a major in SMEs in Dresden. During my studies, I was looking for a working-student job where I could apply the theory I had learned - I definitely got that opportunity at HVB. In your working-student program, you get to immerse yourself in the practical side of things. In my case this meant preparing for and attending client meetings, analysing credit-rating documents, corporate strategies and client business models, as well as project activities.

In addition, the bank is happy to hear about digital innovations that you can contribute everywhere as a young talent. You will be fully involved in the day-to-day work of a supervisor and your valuable ideas will be heard. In addition to the varied tasks, the attractive remuneration and the flexibility in working hours and locations were also very tempting. You will be fully equipped technically to be able to work remotely. Especially for me as a student, this was incredibly important, as I did not want to limit my freedom to work from other places across Germany and even Europe. 

Working together with my team is especially important to me, which is why the working atmosphere plays an essential role for me. From joint team meetings to sporting events or after-hour cocktails to the opportunity to build a bank-wide network, there is so much on offer. From joint team meetings to sporting events or after-hour cocktails to the opportunity to build a bank-wide network, there is so much on offer. Because of all these factors, I decided to join the graduate program at HVB. I am really looking forward to the next few months and to facing new challenges, networking and making a difference as an important part of the bank. 

Utku completed his degree in Business Informatics in Munich. He enjoyed his internship in our Digital division so much that he then continued to support the team as a working student.

After my internship with HVB in the Cards, Cash & Digital Solutions division, I had the opportunity to build on my experience by becoming a working student. In doing so, I was part of a dedicated team that focused on driving the bank’s digitisation. It was extremely exciting because banking is currently changing so quickly and digitisation is one of the megatrends. I was working in a cutting-edge environment and felt like I was making an important contribution. 

During this time, I took part in exciting networking programs such as the Weekly Lunch or socials with top managers. I made interesting contacts and was able to learn well beyond my own field of activity. I am grateful for this experience and happy to be part of such a professional and dynamic company. My time at HVB and the many encounters I had will not be forgotten and I look forward to the future - Maybe we will see each other again!

Xenia earned her degree in Cultural Studies and Economics in Vienna. After completing a working-student program in our Corporate Banking Tech Team in Berlin, she joined us as a graduate trainee.

I chose the working-student program at HypoVereinsbank because, as part of the UniCredit Group, the bank offers me a wide range of development opportunities in an international environment. Prior to my working-student program, I had already been working for a year as an intern in IT Project Management and then in Innovation Management at UniCredit in Austria. As part of the Corporate Banking Tech Team at HypoVereinsbank in Berlin, I was then able to experience the incredible growth stories of Germany’s largest tech companies. 

It was fascinating! It was during this time that I learned how to analyse the innovative business models of our clients, for example in terms of macroeconomic developments. I enjoyed my working-student program so much that I later joined the same team as a graduate trainee.
