Goldman Sachs 2025 Degree Apprenticeship

I have applied for the FICC & Equities alongside the Operations degree apprenticeships for Goldman Sachs. Is there supposed to be an assessment of some sort? All I was asked to do was submit my CV and Cover Letter, but some have mentioned an assessment of some description.

The assessment comes after you are selected for the next round depending on what the company thinks of your cv.

What did you mention in your cover letter? I'm applying for the Engineering degree apprenticeship there and was wondering if you had any tips in mind?

Hi, a cover letter needs to summarise yourself, why you would be a suitable candidate and why you want that specific role. If you want, I can send over a guide on how to write a cover letter for a degree apprenticeship as well as a sample cover letter with the structure I used to get 8 degree apprenticeship offers (mostly in engineering). Let me know if you'd be interested and I can send those over.

Not sure which exact pathway you're trying to apply to so I'll just drop a Twitter post which has the links to apply to all 3 (FICC, Engineering + Operations) - https://x.com/apprentinsider/status/1828473285123658009
