Business and industry analysis in specialist sectors. Supporting with completion of credit processes. Running models to assess the risk and viability of a transaction. Supporting the origination team with end to end tasks to progress a transaction.
Business and financial analysis, commercial lending principles, banking concepts
I enjoy the role and the desk job, the programme provided by BPP could be much improved.
Frequent miscommunications and inefficient learning platform
A lot of support received from my team and the early careers team.
Periodically with progress reviews
The programme was reduced from previous cohorts. I think it would support my role more if I was given the opportunity to complete the qualification in full. Professionalism and ethics was interesting and important generally in banking but has not helped me with the technical aspects of the role. Commercial Lending was more useful but also generally applicable to financial services and the case study was only partly relevant to the products we use in my team
Many social activities in the team and wider bank. Employee Led Networks to join
Yes
The Bank is a good place to work, I believe colleagues generally are supported and we try to live our values. The programme is let down by the learning provider, and I think there could be improved training infrastructure in place specifically for apprentices as is the case with graduates
The values and behaviours of the Bank are important. We have a growth, learning mentality. Skills can be built on and learnt but the Bank places a lot of value on hiring people who can demonstrate our values and behaviours in their approach to work.
