For Finance employers

When young people think of a career in finance, what jobs come to mind?

Here's what 300 young people had to say.

When shown a major UK bank, 64% said banker.

That means out of hundreds of roles in finance, a huge chunk of the next generation of talent can only picture one.

The problem

Young people can't apply for roles they don't know exist

Most teams like yours are struggling to find the right people or feel invisible to the next generation of talent. But the issue might not be what you think.

Young people don't need more ambition, drive or determination. They have that in abundance. What they need is more information, opportunity and access.

With the huge variety of roles available within finance, the majority of young people have narrowed their view down to one before your recruitment campaign has even launched.

Career decisions are being made far earlier than organisations realise, so reaching the right people with the right information at the right time is key.

Social proof

The companies in your industry already acting

Many of our partners are already using Springpod to increase career awareness and confidence in young people. Here's what learners had to say.

I enjoyed finding out what employees do and how many different sectors there are.

What I enjoyed the most about this virtual work experience is that it not only gave me more insight into the business and its variety of opportunities, roles and life skills but has also helped to build my confidence.

It opened my eyes as to all the different types of jobs that are available under this organisation and it reassured me that there is a job for people with different types of skills.

Thank you so much for creating this Springpod course, making banking careers more accessible for those who initially assumed it was just finance or maths only.

It showed me that insurance is more than just maths and calculations, you've just got to find something that you enjoy doing within it.
