Our Advance insight programme is an amazing opportunity for you. You will get to not only learn about us as an innovator within our field, but also see what goes on behind the scenes and find out more about the different areas of our business. You’ll meet and work closely with a variety of professionals who will help you build a network that will serve you throughout your career, as well as experience the inclusive and collaborative culture that we’re proud to have cultivated at Deutsche Bank.

The programme will help you build confidence and open your mind to various opportunities across multiple divisions in our bank. It will consist of:
- A 5 day interactive insight programme offering introduction to Deutsche Bank and the Financial Services sector including a variety of workshops. These sessions will include: an introduction to our business, our clients, and our role in society as well as meeting many of our inspirational leaders and role models.
- During the week you will shadow and interact with at least one of the bank’s divisions to showcase a type of work you could undertake if you join us as a summer intern in the future.

- We will continue to help you build your confidence and skills by delivering various employability workshops throughout the week
- You will also have an opportunity to take part in mock interviews and receive feedback from our Early Careers Recruiters

Candidates should expect to commit to a timeline of 16 months, from January 2023 to August 2024.
