The banking sector supports both the national economy and businesses and individuals to manage their finances. It's an area that offers a wide array of roles ranging from customer service to corporate finance, providing extensive career opportunities. In addition, rapid digitalisation and innovation is reshaping this sector, presenting new ways for young people to grow, learn, and develop.
Join host Kathryn and guests Joanne and John as they discuss how these changes are affecting young people’s career progression in banking and what the sector is doing to recruit and retain new talent.
