Career Pathways

 

Apprenticeships

If you’re looking to take your first step into the professional working world, our apprenticeship programme can offer a great foundation upon which to build your career with us.

Apprentices working with us will learn on the job, building the knowledge & skills to gain an apprenticeship qualification through our trusted providers Somerset Skills & Learning and Richard Huish College to prepare them for going out into the workplace.

It is our goal, wherever possible, to offer suitable permanent employment for well performing apprentices at the end of their apprenticeship. We support apprentices who would like to continue learning and can complete further qualifications relevant for their career, through the Lloyd & Whyte Academy.

What our previous apprentices have to say…

“The programme was a big steppingstone into the career that I am now in. I never would have thought about a career in Financial Services had it not been for the department rotation. Since finishing my apprenticeship, Lloyd & Whyte have supported me in becoming a fully qualified financial adviser, and I am continuing to progress in my career.”

 

“The apprenticeship was a wonderful opportunity to experience various professional roles without knowing what I wanted to do prior to joining the company.”
