3 Day Finance Career Launchpad
The Instructus 3 Day Financial Careers Launchpad is an intensive and comprehensive program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to optimise their chances of securing employment in investment banking or the wider financial services industry.
The course covers the components and structures of investment banks, the functions of capital markets (including trading dynamics and technique) and the professional skills required to impress at interview and in your subsequent career. The Financial Career Launchpad is highly recommended for anyone considering a career in finance.
Many of our students have gone on to start careers though both internships and graduate positions at some of the worlds leading financial institutions.
"I Just wanted to say thanks again for the amazing 3 day course at Instructus markets. Before this course I had my doubts about the financial industry and even what sector in the finance world was best for me. Even though it was only 3 days I now have a much better scope of the industry as well as what sector I feel I would fit into the most. Thanks for making it so casual and relaxed in the sense that you were always open to questions and discussions. I will definitely recommend Instructus Markets to my friends and classmates at Warwick."
