Women in Trading Summer Placement Programme

Aufgabenbereiche

Our ‘Women in Trading’ Summer Internship is offering a unique opportunity to female students in their penultimate year of studies to join us for a 3 month summer internship from mid June - September and take their crucial first steps into the exciting world of commodity trading. We recognise the under-representation of females within the energy sector and are committed to improving diversity. We also believe this will help bring diversity of thought, and help us adapt to the transforming landscape of opportunities and challenges, from digitalisation to decarbonisation. Our programme is designed to provide an authentic insight into a trading career at RWE Supply & Trading. It combines experiential learning of the commodity trading world, with exposure to our front office teams, giving participants tangible commercial and operational exposure — not just theory. The placement also focuses on empowerment through development, mentorship as well as a supportive culture, and aims to inspire by showcasing the talented women within our commercial business. Alongside practical experience and skills-building, our interactive sessions will help you develop confidence in a professional environment and allow you to feel comfortable bringing your whole self to the workplace. In addition, you will also receive guidance and support from both a mentor and a buddy to help you navigate the trading environment.
