In extraordinary detail

Your Development

Remarkable clients like ours expect the very highest levels of in-depth, personable and professional service from their Private Bankers. It requires exceptional attention to detail, commitment and hard work. It also means being yourself, and making the most of your individual talents. This is just one of the reasons why we place great emphasis on individual development. So, while we expect you to take personal ownership of developing your career, you can expect the following training and support from us:

Initial Training Programme (ITP)

Over the course of your first eight weeks with us, this programme will help you develop your understanding of the financial markets in which we operate, as well as the products, instruments and services we offer. Through case studies, workshops and presentations, the ITP will help you build a platform on which to establish your technical and professional skills. During this time, you'll work to complete your Investment Management Certificate (IMC), as well as taking part in a range of networking events and external team building activities.

Working alongside a Private Banker

Whether you're on the first year of our graduate programme or the Summer Internship programme you'll work alongside and be managed by a Private Banker in either our UK & Ireland or International Private Bank. They'll share their unrivalled expertise with you, enabling you to learn from them and grow your knowledge and experience of building a book, as well as the value they place on building deep and lasting relationships with their clients.

Rotations

One of the best ways to broaden your knowledge and find out how we work, a bespoke rotational process will see you working in different areas of the business. This includes an international placement and a product group placement, as well as a rotation into one of our other business areas.

Becoming a Junior Private Banker

After you've successfully completed the programme a number of career possibilities will be open to you, including promotion to Junior Private Banker or pursuing growth opportunities across Barclays Wealth. We'll work with you to design a clear development pathway and progression plan.

Continuous Development

At Barclays Wealth we take a long-term view of your future and our training reflects that. In addition to the CFA qualification, which is the ultimate indicator of credibility in our industry and a required course of study during your three years, ongoing training is offered throughout the programme. This will be in the form of a supported learning curriculum, speaker sessions, networking and alumni events, and our brand new market-leading knowledge management system "L@B" - Learning at Barclays Wealth, which offers access to around 300 learning resources.

As you'll see, we aim to help you develop all of the banking, investment and client skills you need to become a Private Banker to some of the world's wealthiest individuals and families.
