Hargreaves Lansdown launches new apprenticeship scheme to keep up with digitisation

Financial services company Hargreaves Lansdown has launched a new apprenticeship scheme.

This marks the first time Hargreaves Lansdown has offered apprenticeships in technical areas such as IT and digital marketing, to reflect the shift in the business to digital and mobile, with more users than ever accessing the site through mobile devices.

According to a report by McKinsey, digitisation could increase revenues in the finance sector by four to 12%, reinforcing the benefits of becoming digital.

The apprenticeship scheme is just one segment of their five tier youth training programme, which also includes a graduate scheme, an industrial placement scheme, work experience scheme and a summer intern scheme.
