As well as a detailed introduction to fund management, you can expect technical and interpersonal skills training.

In your first week you'll set goals that you want to focus on throughout your program and regularly revisit these with your manager's support.

A big part of each program is showing you how our business is structured. The regular Coffee Hours with our senior leaders will help with this, with themes covering Schroders culture, our approach to investment, understanding our clients, sustainability, career development and corporate responsibility.

You'll also carry out a team project to tackle one of our strategic objectives. Throughout the program you'll meet our current graduates who will share their experiences with you.
