How has the Graduate Scheme helped you develop?
The Finance Graduate Scheme has helped me to develop both my personal and professional skills.
The rotational element meant that I have been involved with various different projects, all of which have helped define my future career path.
Whilst I’m empowered to work on my own, I have supportive team that encourage me to develop my professional knowledge.
