Our carefully constructed Graduate Development Programme will give you maximum benefit from our broad-based expertise. Based at our Canary Wharf office in London, it will give you in-depth exposure to our work within the UK's financial services industry.
Rotations
After an intensive induction to introduce you to our organisation, our work, our aims and your peers, it’s straight down to business. As part of the programme, you will be allocated to one of our business areas. You will also have the opportunity to experience different areas of our organisation on rotations of 6, 12 or 18 months. The length and placement of your first rotation will be pre determined, but you will be able to influence subsequent rotations in line with your career aspirations.
In addition, to rotating within one of the Conduct business or the Prudential business divisions, you may also rotate within the organisation-wide functions of Enforcement, Risk, Financial stability, Financial Crime or International.
Secondment
Later on in the programme (usually your third year) you'll go on an external secondment, giving you the opportunity to view the industry from a different perspective, while building on your knowledge of financial services. Graduates have previously been seconded to investment banks, law firms, fund managers, professional services firms, as well as HM Treasury, the Bank of England, the European Commission, as well as European regulators.
Sponsored study
Personal development is something we take very seriously. So, in addition to the rotation programme, we offer a comprehensive range of business awareness sessions, training modules and professional qualification sponsorship. The latter includes the option to apply for support towards gaining qualifications such as the Investment Management Certificate, SII Diploma, CII Certificate in Financial Planning or becoming a Chartered Financial Analyst. So you can be sure there'll be no gaps in your knowledge.
We will also consider sponsorship of other related qualifications providing a justifiable business case is put forward.
