I have been on the Finance Graduate programme for 7 months working in the Financial Accounts Team. My first rotation was extremely rewarding - working on a variety of projects and regularly cooperating with senior leaders. It has been a great opportunity to develop my technical knowledge and understanding of the wider business. One of the best things about the Finance Graduate programme is being part of the agile and fast paced culture; there is always something new and exciting. Moreover, I receive great study support for my company funded ACCA qualification – it’s the perfect platform to kickstart my career!
Senior Financial Services Customer Advisor
I wanted an opportunity to learn a nationally recognised qualification and to better myself not just for me but also my children. I started my A levels when I left school and didn’t finish them and I’ve always wanted to go back to learning. The apprenticeship has given me so much confidence, self-belief and knowledge, expanding my knowledge in Underwriting and Claims so I am now more equipped to explain these processes to our customers.
I would definitely recommend Hastings Direct to other graduates. Graduates at Hastings Direct are given projects which have an impact on the business and are given the support they need. I have found that placement leaders and colleagues are approachable and keen to help. Their approachability and experience has meant that I have been able to absorb skills. I think Hastings Direct is the ideal place to start a career.
Digital Technology Solutions Professional Degree
I’ve been working in IT for a few years now as I didn’t go to university, I wanted to formalise my career in IT with a degree. It was identified by my leader that an apprenticeship was possible and I started this in 2019. It’s been really helpful to understand how my role plays a part in the broader IT function and I’m enjoying learning in a formal way, even needing to write ‘proper’ assignments which I’ve not had to do since school!
