FinTrU this week announced another new remote learning Assured Skills Academy offering 20 training places, to be taught by Ulster University and Belfast Metropolitan College over four weeks.
Those who successfully complete the Academy are guaranteed an interview for a role at FinTrU.
Recruitment to the Academy, delivery of training and any subsequent employment with FinTrU will be fully remote, until such times as the company returns to accommodating people onsite.
The Academy will start on Monday 3 August and applications are open until 10 July 2020. No experience is required but applicants must hold a 2:2 degree or better in any discipline.

The initiative is in partnership with the Department for the Economy.
Economy Minister Diane Dodds said: “We are in changed economic times and the impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt. So it is very encouraging that FinTrU continues to expand and my Department can offer these high quality pre-employment training places to 20 people with degrees.
“This is a chance to gain the skills and knowledge needed to start a career in financial services and potentially gain employment with a successful and growing local company.
“Assured Skills Academies provide a pipeline of skilled people for local employers, while also upskilling people and enabling them to start or change careers. We are experiencing high demand for Academies and are working to open more in the near future, offering valuable and high quality training opportunities during this difficult economic period.”
