If you are in S5 and S6 and considering applying to the graduate apprentice programme in Barclays this information session will be shown in Mrs Coakleys room S020 from 12pm – 1pm tomorrow.

At Barclays, we’ve spent 15 years perfecting our Apprenticeship programmes to help people think differently about their career, and their future.

Our apprenticeships are open to everybody – school leavers or career switchers – there is something to suit all. An opportunity to join a well-paid, permanent job – doing real, impactful work from day one – all whist working towards a recognised qualification up to Degree level.

There are opportunities available across our businesses ranging from Retail Banking, Compliance, Finance, HR, Risk, Operations, and Technology.

The early Careers Recruitment team, in partnership with business colleagues including Apprentices, are hosting a virtual event designed to educate (and myth-bust) Apprenticeships.

Date: Wednesday 27th November 2024

Time: 12:00 – 13:00

The one-hour information session is designed to help you to:

• Learn about Barclays and our Apprentice opportunities (and bust myths about Apprenticeships)
• Hear ‘personal journey’ stories from Early Careers colleagues
• Understand how to view and apply to our opportunities
• Gain access to supportive learning materials
• Ask questions to our panel of Early Careers Leaders and existing Apprentices

 

 

For all S4-S6 Pupils, please see below a booklet issued by SQA with guidelines on assessments and SQA exams.  This will be discussed at assemblies next week.
