I joined FinTrU in April 2016 via our third Financial Services Academy.
WHAT IS THE FINTRU FINANCIAL SERVICES ACADEMY?
The FinTrU Financial Services Academy is an intensive training course delivered over a number of weeks for those who wish to gain the skills to kickstart a rewarding Financial Services career with FinTrU!
how DID THE FINTRU FINANCIAL SERVICES ACADEMY PREPARE YOU FOR A CAREER IN FINANCIAL SERVICES?
Coming from a History and Politics background, the FinTrU Financial Services Academy gave me the necessary knowledge to become familiar with the Financial Services industry. It also gave me the confidence to work with our Tier One Investment Bank clients and prepared me for a career in a professional environment at FinTrU.
what are YOU LOOKING FROM AN APPLICANT FOR THE FINTRU FINANCIAL SERVICES ACADEMY?
We are always looking for industrious, driven, and ambitious individuals but we also want people to totally embrace the unique FinTrU culture and really jump in with both feet and experience everything the company has to offer!
HOW DOES THE FINTRU FINANCIAL SERVICES ACADEMY SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT?
Throughout the FinTrU Financial Services Academy, and throughout a career in FinTrU, professional development is always a key focus. FinTrU will support this through professionally accredited qualifications (including CISI), tailored training, and support provided by our Learning and Development team.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE WHO IS CONSIDERING APPLYING?
I would strongly encourage anyone to apply who is looking for a unique and exciting career opportunity (regardless of degree background or experience!)
I am incredibly glad I applied when I did and haven’t looked back since! Whether you have recently graduated or are looking to change career after a number of years in a different industry, the FinTrU Financial Services Academy provides a platform for you to succeed on the global stage.
