The training will have a strong focus on investment opportunities and financial compliance. On completion of the course the graduates will be interviewed for a position with FinTrU offering a starting salary of £18,000.
Previous experience is not required but applicants must possess a 2:2 degree in any discipline. For the duration of the programme participants will be paid £150 training allowance per week plus travel expenses.
