Benedikt Arendt, former trainee, today project manager

During my trainee program, I became familiar with a variety of tasks and gained a comprehensive insight into Deka. This was the right start for me, because now I can work independently, take on responsibility and, together with the colleagues on my team, addeven more value.

Direct entry. Completely integrated right from the start.
