  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would recommend Lloyds Banking Group to a friend as they are invested in development of their staff, suppporting colleagues in areas they are not great with and excelling in areas they enjoy. The investment of time in the shape of mentor relationships and development events is also a key factor as well as the volume of opportunites to learn or progress are great and are transparent in availability.

  • Do your research and be ready to commit to the role you are applying for, you get out of it what you put in and the apprenticeship can be the perfect way to get your foot on the ladder and get your name out there to build up your network of stakeholders.
