Global-technology company FNZ has announced plans to launch a recruitment scheme for high-flying graduates.
With operations in the UK, the Czech Republic, Australia and New Zealand, FNZ offers around 50 of the best recent or upcoming graduates the opportunity to launch their international career.
The Edinburgh-based scheme will enable graduates to undertake secondments at FNZ sites across the world, giving them the chance to develop their skills in multiple locations and exposing them to a range of experiences.
The scheme will also provide graduates with comprehensive induction and training that will equip them with the skills to work across various company areas and experience all aspects of the FNZ culture.
The company currently employs 75 graduates across its European locations, a figure that represents 10 percent of the overall European workforce. This enables FNZ to remain at the cutting edge of wealth-management technology.
Daniel Kasmir, FNZ HR director in the UK, said: “We are always on the look-out for the best graduate talent available to help to grow the business. Our new graduate scheme is a great opportunity for recent or upcoming graduates to get their first step on the career ladder at a time when the sector is going from strength to strength.
“With international secondments and competitive starting salaries on offer, we are expecting a high demand for places.
Yong Li joined as a graduate in FNZs Wellington office, New Zealand, and now works in London. “Initially I was worried about making the transition from university to working life, but the involvement and support of the whole FNZ team has made it a really enjoyable experience and I am learning lots, he said.
“I was lucky enough to work with a fantastic team in Wellington for three years before taking the opportunity last year to move to a new role in London. I have always had a keen interest in travel and the opportunity to experience another culture within a graduate program was too good to pass up.
