Secure a job in finance - UNDERGRADS APPLY NOW
🚀 Now launching the second cycle of the 2025 Next Gen Talent Career Programme!
This innovative structured programme is designed to help you enhance your employability skills, learn from industry professionals, and build your own network of like-minded peers. The aim is to help you secure a professional job in finance while building the confidence and resilience to succeed.
💼 What can the programme offer you?
You will get bespoke support in finding and applying for placement opportunities, dedicated 1-2-1 career coaching, and insight into one of the City's oldest livery companies, the WCIB.
We’re not looking for top grades — what matters most is that you’re driven, committed, and eager to learn. If you’re ready to challenge yourself and take steps toward your future career, we’d love to hear from you. ✨
🤝 This cycle is in partnership with the Worshipful Company of International Bankers (WCIB), giving you the chance to learn from industry-leading professionals.
You’ll explore a wide range of roles within Financial services across the programme. Some of the events will be attended by volunteers from the WCIB, and others will be hosted with other Financial services organisations — giving you insight from a wide range of volunteers and companies.
Get ahead and do some research here before you apply!
