LIFT-Financial have been instrumental in helping me to progress from higher education into a solid career. I've had invaluable, on-the-job experience and study support towards the CII Regulated Diploma in Financial Planning. I've moved around the business from team to team whilst completing exams. Not only would I highly recommend LIFT as an excellent place to work, I would also encourage others to consider an apprenticeship. My ambition is to ultimately become a Chartered Financial Planner.
Give your career a LIFT
At LIFT-Financial we invest in young talent. Maybe you're a recent school leaver looking for a career path, or perhaps you've just graduated with a finance related degree. Whichever it is, joining LIFT could put you on the right track.
What is the LIFT-Academy?
The LIFT-Academy is a structured training programme created for school leavers and graduates who want to build a career in financial services. Since 2012 we have offered tailor-made routes into the profession for capable candidates. The LIFT-Academy programme is bespoke and you'll receive the very best training, as well as the support of a mentor and a personal development plan to progress your career.
We tailor your training path depending on your starting point. At degree level you may already have some of the skills and knowledge required. Whenever you start - after school, college or university - our aim is that you will go on to achieve Chartered status (the gold standard in our industry!). Overall we believe degrees and apprenticeships can be equally valuable and with the right person, both can lead to the same destination. For example, we have someone who joined in a junior office role, moved onto the Academy scheme and in less than three years has achieved Fellowship status.
If you have ambition and you're willing to study and work hard, you will succeed at LIFT.
