Success Story of Robel Debesay
I consider myself a lucky person.
Before Robel joined UBS as an intern, he lived for five years on the road as a person from a refugee background

Robel radiates so much warmth and cordiality that you immediately feel comfortable around him. He was a participant in our Bootcamp in Basel in 2018, got an internship with UBS after our Career Day and after that got employed as IT Quality &Test Engineer. Congratulations to you, dear Robel!
