Paid on-the-job learning and study plan at investment bank part of push to attract trainees from less-affluent backgrounds
Goldman Sachs will start training apprentices directly on its London trading floor for the first time next year, feeding into wider efforts to boost social mobility across the UK’s financial sector.
The programme, which is part of an apprenticeship scheme launched in partnership with Queen Mary University of London, will combine paid on-the-job training with study over four years, offering students a chance to gain hands-on experience in a sector still struggling to attract candidates from less-affluent backgrounds.
