At LTSB, we’re here to help you launch a career you’re proud of, even if you’re not sure where to start.
If you’re aged 18–24 and come from a background that’s often overlooked in the world of business, our Business Programme is built with you in mind. Over 6 to 8 weeks, we’ll help you build the confidence, skills, and experience you need to kick-start a career in areas like finance, marketing, insurance, and business admin.
You’ll take part in practical workshops, connect with real employers, and get tailored support to help you stand out not just on paper, but in interviews and in the workplace. We’ll be with you every step of the way, from your first session to preparing for your job interview and beyond.
What to expect
Guaranteed Interviews: Successfully completing the bootcamp means that we’ll help you apply and interview for real paid roles with top companies, offering at least the National Living Wage.
Ongoing Support: Receive direct coaching during the bootcamp and continued check-ins throughout the early stages of employment.
Networking Opportunities: We partner with leading companies like NatWest, BDO and Page Group so you’ll be learning from people who know what they’re talking about.

“The LTSB bootcamp was a game-changer for me. It provided essential transferable skills that set me up for success. From crafting my first official CV to mastering interview techniques and getting a real sense of what it’s like to work in accounting offices, LTSB prepared me for my role as an SSC Audit Assistant at BDO. The support was invaluable, giving me the confidence to excel in the workplace.” Read more here.
