Success Stories

The LTSB programme helped me maximise my skill set, gain invaluable advice and make meaningful connections. I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone who is young, passionate and eager to get their foot through the door. It’s clear that everyone that works here is passionate and enthusiastic about the work that they do!

Success Stories

LTSB have changed my life. They are so lovely and a genuine community that stick with you even after you finish the bootcamp. I feel like I wouldn’t be the person I am now without them.

Success Stories

I was absolutely clueless about what was required from me when I was submitting applications last year. I got rejected left, right and centre and I would have stayed completely demoralised if I didn't stumble across the LTSB programme. The people I met and insights I have gained has made me confident in myself and I am going into this application season feeling good and prepared to handle any interview and assessment centre that will come my way.

Success Stories

LTSB has played an influential role in helping me grow both personally and professionally. Through their support, guidance, and preparation, I’ve gained the confidence and skills needed to secure an apprenticeship. Now, I'm an Accounts Assistant at Naismiths Limited. Since starting my apprenticeship, I've gained valuable hands-on experience and continued to build my knowledge through my studies. It’s been a challenging but rewarding journey so far, and I’m excited to keep progressing in my career in finance.

Success Stories

I would recommend this especially if you are looking to build your first ever strong network (your cohort). Also, this programme can serve to add more structure to your journey and put things into perspective especially if you're taking a gap year or if you're not sure about carrying on in the route you have been aiming for. Join LTSB.
