Introduction: I am Younes, and my background is a vibrant blend of French, German, and Moroccan ancestry. Originally from Hamburg, I've spent significant years in Toulouse, France, and embraced life in Canada. This multicultural background has gifted me with adaptability and a global perspective, shaping my unique outlook on the world.
Professional Overview: My journey with DWS began with a recruitment event in Maastricht, where I was introduced to the company culture. I found DWS to be a place where openness, kindness, and performance coexist, creating a balanced and supportive work environment. Through my responsibilities, I have gained insights into diverse areas, from conducting extensive research in regulation and investment law to participating in calls, conferences, and events.
Rotational Program: DWS's graduate program spans twelve months, consisting of four three-month rotations in divisions. Candidates apply for specific divisions and are typically placed within their chosen area, with opportunities for exploration in other divisions. Placements are decided based on mutual agreement, considering graduates' interests, experiences, and team availability. The program includes virtual and on-site training sessions covering Asset Management and Financial Accounting. The on-site training fosters deep learning and connections among global graduates and coaches. It offers insights into the company's values and culture, including interactions with top executives and the CEO. Social bonding is encouraged through after-work events, enhancing the overall graduate experience. The rotational program at DWS allows me to explore different divisions, enabling me to align my interests with the organisation's needs. This flexibility ensures a bilateral decision-making process at the end of the program, considering both my preferences and available opportunities within the company.
Summary: I am thrilled to be part of DWS, where a diverse and supportive environment fosters growth, learning, and collaboration. The experiences I gain here shape my professional journey, and I look forward to contributing meaningfully to the organisation's success.
