Apprenticeship programmes at Schroders

We welcome applications from school leavers for our two-year apprenticeship programme.

This programme gives you a hands-on introduction to asset management, while you develop key skills and build your professional network across the business.

If you’ve recently finished school or college and gained A-levels or BTECs, taken a gap year, or started university and decided it was not the right route for you, our apprenticeship programme is a fantastic way to start your career. We’ll offer you a permanent job within our business, as well as a structured programme to support your training and skills development.

This programme is ideal if you want an alternative to university and are looking to earn while you learn. We’ll support you in gaining government-approved qualifications and help you create a springboard to your future career.

As well as practical work experience, we’ll give you formal training designed to build your expertise and aptitudes. All of our apprenticeships are fully accredited with Level 3 and 4 qualifications. Many of our apprentices build long-term careers at Schroders, but wherever your work takes you, you’ll know your training is recognised and valued.

Our apprenticeship roles are mostly based in our London office.

All we need from you is a can-do attitude, a willingness to get stuck in and a flexible attitude to work. We have five core values which underpin our business: passion, innovation, integrity, teamwork and excellence. And we look for these in the people we recruit.

And we’re happy to teach you all you need to know on the job. From day one, you’ll have a dedicated buddy by your side: usually an apprentice from the previous year, who’ll help you navigate your first few months. 

You’ll be part of a team from day one. In the first few days we’ll immerse you into asset management and life at Schroders. You’ll meet your line manager and wider team and start learning the basics. And throughout your programme, you’ll take part in a wide range of development opportunities together which are designed to equip you with the knowledge, the network and the soft skills that you’ll use throughout your career.  

While you’ll spend most of your time at your desk supporting the work of your team, you’ll get lots of opportunities to take part in training and activities that’ll help you hone your teamwork and start networking. And like everyone else at Schroders, you’ll also have full access to our online learning platform.

Investment20/20 is an investment industry programme that helps us find the best people from all backgrounds and nurture their potential. So you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet and network with apprentices across the industry and participate take part in training, socials and insight events.

Away from the desk take the time to enjoy our vibrant office spaces, whether that’s soaking up some sun on one of the terrace areas, BBQ lunches in the summer, or enjoying a fitness class our free on-site gym.
