Banking apprenticeship

Hi, I thought I’d start this thread for anyone curious about getting into banking via apprenticeship.

Does anybody know what month or time of the year banks such as, Barclays, Lloyds, Santander, HSBC, Nationwide, JP Morgan, etc open up apprenticeship programs?

Thank you

A lot of banking apprenticeships begin to open quite early - around the September/October time. Banking apprenticeships are super competitive so I'd definitely recommend getting prepared over the next couple of months - writing a CV, writing a cover letter, getting work experience and making yourself a more attractive candidate.

If you are really interested in getting into one of these apprenticeships, I can send you some resources which will help with writing a CV, getting work experience and becoming a better candidate. Just let me know if you're interested and I'll send those over.

Hope that helps and good luck in your applications.

Hey!! Thank you for your response. I’m sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I would be really grateful if you could still send over the resources you mentioned. That would be super helpful!

Thanks again :smile:

Hey, I look on the banks websites and go to their early careers section, you can also look through third party websites like “rate my apprenticeship”
