Hi, I’m Arthur, a second-year Degree Apprentice at a bulge bracket corporate investment bank. When applying for finance degree apprenticeships, I was unprepared for the application process—there was no information, apart from vague “one size fits all” advice.
That’s why I started myfinanceapprenticeship.com.
I aim to provide prospective apprentices with a tailored resource that prepares you for every stage of the hiring process from initial application to final interview, equipping you with the confidence and skills to stand out when it matters most.
This platform is here to bridge the gap I wish I had, ensuring you’re ready to get the apprenticeship you want.
