On this program you develop mainly on the job skills, relevant to your current role, however there are a variety if in house training courses that are provided that give you a more overall knowledge of the works of the trading business.

There is a strong working culture here, you are expected to put in the hours and 9-5 usually isn't enough, however having a well maintained work/life balance is important here.

There is still an obvious divide between the school leaver and the graduate scheme, this can cause friction later on into the scheme where you consider yourself more knowledgeable and experienced however are still not compensated as well.

The program is continuously changing to accommodate the needs of the business and the school leavers. The structure is good and the roles on offer are varied.

In terms of training it is very much left down to the individual, courses are provided but further support would usually be something you would need to seek out on your own accord.

We have a mentor program and an annual panel review with senior members of the business that help to develop you and also drive your further roles based on your needs and previous experience.

The salary easily covers the costs of living a fairly comfortable life within central London or commuting from outside, however dies still lag behind that of a graduate even after years of experience.

I think long term this is a great company to be a part of with a huge variety of opportunities down the line that could easily suit most people looking to work hard.

Come in for a discovery day before you apply, this will give you an opportunity to walk around the trading floor and get involved with some simulations and chat to people already on the scheme, after that you will know whether or not this is the type of career you want to embark on.
