"I’m developing a total range of skills"

I came to LBG on an internship

‘I really enjoyed it, so the natural next step for me was to apply to the Graduate Scheme.’

I’m already on my second placement

‘From working with the Key Clients team in UK Private Banking, I’m currently a Business Support Manager for the Director of Insurance and Wealth, Transformation and Strategy.’

I’ve had hands-on experience

‘As a Relationship Manager, I learnt how to put our customers first. Right now, I’m learning about areas as diverse as Comms and Risk in my Business Support role.’

You have back-up all the way

‘I’m currently sitting exams and my manager is really supportive and makes sure I can focus on my studies. There’s also a great community of grads taking the same exams – we share resources and encourage one another.’

I was worried I wouldn’t learn as much remotely

‘My LBG colleagues were aware of the challenges of starting a new job and meeting people virtually, and they have made an extra effort to make sure I have felt like part of the team and engaged in the work.’

There are always opportunities to volunteer

‘I was involved in delivering workshops on Financial Capabilities for young people – empowering them with practical financial skills that are usually misunderstood. It was so rewarding to see, first-hand, the difference that these schemes can make.’

A place I belong

‘The culture here is hard to come by. The environment is really supportive, and there’s a strong community within the Grad scheme too.’

More to discover

‘There’s so much variety! I’m very sociable and love exploring new places, so it’s great that the Grad scheme has given me the opportunity to live in different parts of the UK.’
