Overview
Our Business programme offers a comprehensive introduction to the corporate world through hands-on workshops and real-world experiences. You’ll benefit from coaching designed to prepare you for roles with our partner employers, with some locations offering recognised qualifications to enhance your interview prospects.
LTSB’s Business programme operates in London, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham. Successful completion of the 8-week bootcamp means you will secure a guaranteed interview with one of our industry leading employment partners, for an apprenticeship or permanent role offering at least the National Living Wage.
Based on your area of interest, we can arrange interviews for positions such as Business Administration Apprentice, Marketing or Finance Assistant, Risk and Compliance (Insurance) Apprentice, or Accounts Apprentice.
We are looking for young people aged 18– 24 who are passionate about building a career in a corporate setting. For this programme, we look at business broadly with sessions on finance and marketing. You don’t need previous experience, but you need to display a strong desire to kickstart a career in business.
