40 graduates bank jobs with Financial Services Academy

“I am delighted to launch the next FinTrU Financial Services Academy which will provide a further 20 participants with the skills, knowledge and experience required to take up exciting new employment opportunities with FinTrU,” said Dr Farry.

“This Academy will build on the success of the previous two Academies, which have seen all 40 Academy participants secure employment with FinTrU.”

The ongoing commitment of such firms in creating jobs was hugely important to growth he said.

“Through the Assured Skills initiative my department continues to encourage companies to bring their business to Northern Ireland or expand their existing operations, stimulating the creation of new jobs in the local economy.”

The Academy will target graduates holding at least a 2:2 in any degree discipline and previous experience in the sector is not required. The successful applicants will undertake an intensive six week training programme focusing on Capital Markets, Financial Regulation and Investment Administration and will gain industry-recognised qualifications.
