DF Capital launches apprenticeship scheme

DF Capital today announced that it has launched a new apprenticeship scheme, offering school leavers the opportunity to secure experience in a real-life business environment.

Run in partnership with Damar, a provider of business and professional apprenticeships, the initiative is currently inviting applications for several roles across DF Capital’s sales and operations teams.  These positions will provide the chance to gain vital skills – such as growing technical ability and soft skills development – and work towards a Business Admin Level 3 qualification and a permanent post within the organisation.

All new recruits will benefit from a range of development opportunities throughout the 18 month programme, plus mentoring and coaching from experienced colleagues, leading to clear career progression in an exciting industry.

Charlie Michael, chief sustainability and people officer, DF Capital, commented: “Apprenticeships provide an excellent platform for young people to get on the career ladder and our scheme forms part of our commitment to the communities in which we work, and the chance to invest in the future of our industry.  We’re looking forward to bringing new skills and fresh ideas into the bank, while supporting the development of some of the country’s brightest young people as they begin their careers.  Our talented and experienced colleagues have a wealth of knowledge to share, in return for a positive attitude and genuine desire to learn.  If you know of any passionate and enthusiastic individuals that would like to apply, do let us know!”
