Career
Between the office and football pitch.
Lukas Aeberli: Commercial sport apprentice and passionate football player.
Scoring goals is fun. Long-term success is even more fun. Lukas Aeberli knows this all too well. The right-back loves his sport and he passionately defends his playing field. He protects his career with the same gusto – with a commercial apprenticeship at Generali.
Lukas is a passionate football player. He is strong on the turf, fights for every ball and is a team player.
We value young people with these kinds of mindsets and help them launch their careers. We also promote a passion for sport and offer a commercial sport apprenticeship programme. This four-year apprenticeship consists of an internship and a vocational education in addition to four half-days per week of intense athletic training.
Generali allows me to be an apprentice as well as an avid competitive athlete.
Lukas works in the debt collection department, where he is learning a great deal about insurance as well as new payment methods. He has appreciated the sense of togetherness at Generali from day one. Everyone is on a first-name basis with one another. Teamwork is very important.
And another thing that is important to Lukas: “I have the opportunity to balance my education with day-to-day training, which helps me as an athlete.” However, there are also situations in which the highly active athlete needs to demonstrate perseverance: “Sometimes I wish my work routine had a little more variety.” But once he will be able to conduct independent telephone calls with customers and respond to their questions in a professional manner, he is going to feel very proud – similar to when scoring a goal.
