Financial Services Academy

As a member of the Financial Services Academy arm of the Consultant Development Community (CDC), you will develop the knowledge and skills required of a Management Consultant in Financial Services.

You will join our Consultant Development Community (CDC) and in two years you will become a well-rounded and entrepreneurial Management Consultant within the Financial Services (FS) sector.  You will be committed to roles with key FS clients that will enable you to grow your industry knowledge through large scale transformation projects in banking, insurance and wealth. Internally, your development will be supplemented by structured training to ensure that you can help clients shape their organisations to meet new market challenges, enhance customer experience and ultimately achieve their strategic goals.

We focus on the following key areas to support and develop your experience, knowledge and careers:

  • Retail & Commercial Banking
  • Insurance & Wealth
  • Digital Banking
  • Customer Experience
  • Risk, Regulation & Compliance

The programme is designed for talented graduates and second jobbers who would like the opportunity to develop consulting skills and capability within the Financial Services sector. You will develop a deep understanding of the business challenges our Financial Services clients face, and learn how factors such as regulation, automation and Brexit are impacting the industry. You will also create relationships and acquire a foundation of consulting skills, tools and methodologies to help you to build your consulting career.

At the end of the two-year programme, subject to performance, you will have the opportunity for further specialism in Financial Services or the chance to rotate and move into a new area depending on your career aspirations.

CDC Programme – Financial Services Consulting Academy  – Whilst we continue to build in Financial Services and it is a priority for our business, we will not be hiring specifically into an Financial Services Academy in our February 2019 intake, this does not mean that if you have a passion or interest in the sector that you should not apply for the other academies, it is likely you could work within this sector during the programme. You can also register your interest  so that we can contact you should we open applications for the Financial Service Academy
