Overview
What's included
Get to know Barclays and what it stands for, including its history, values and role in the wider financial world. You'll also discover Barclays LifeSkills, the bank's own programme for building practical, everyday skills — from managing money to communicating with confidence — to help you get ready for work and life.
This webinar breaks down what a bank actually does, from looking after savings to lending and investing. You'll hear directly from people at Barclays about how the organisation runs day to day and where the opportunities lie.
Step inside Barclays and see what working there is really like. This lesson explores the culture, teams and everyday environment across the business, giving you a genuine feel for the organisation beyond the brand.
Discover the different roles available at Barclays and the early career routes into them, including apprenticeships, internships and graduate schemes. This lesson helps you match your interests and skills to a possible future path.
Yes, you can sign up to multiple programmes with us. The live talks will be available as recordings, so you can catch up on any potential clashes.
Most of our programmes require students to be in school/college. Some programmes require students to be based in specific regions of the UK, this is stipulated by the organisations themselves, and is not defined by Springpod.
However, the ages mentioned on our programmes are more of a guideline than a strict limit. As such, we more than welcome older students to apply as well!
You will receive a certificate on completion of your programme. It will be made available to download whenever your programme is marked as complete.
