It would be great to see you get involved. As an apprenticeship myself I know how much of a difference I can make to the business and how much of a difference the business can have on me.
Iād probably look into the degree apprenticeships offered to get some inspiration.
I was also wondering if Monzo were going to get involved in providing apprenticeships. It would be cool if Monzo would provide opportunities for young people to gain experience in a Fintech Bank!
Maybe you guys could look into StepForward based in London who are an apprenticeship provider http://stepforward.uk.com/employers/ Iāve been a successful applicant for next year through their program.
Weād love to provide an experience like this for post-16 school leavers, especially for those who are exploring opportunities for personal and professional development as an alternative to further education or vocational training. What we could offer may not fit the conventional āapprenticeshipā mould, I think weāre still at the stage of figuring out how we can make this experience a valuable learning experience and an opportunity to encourage young talent to take their first steps to a career with our support and guidance. Itās something we discussed in lots of detail at the Sunny Side Up Brunch Workshop, you should take a look at the minutes if you have a chance!
The idea of partnering up with initiatives and organisations supporting young people in finding out more about ways to kick start their careers and further their education with hands-on experience in an industry setting. Beth may be able to elaborate on this a little! Again there were a few great suggestions on who would be good to reach out to from the community at the Brunch Workshop.
and what about the neglected 50+ group? There are many people that age who have lost jobs due to restructuring and downsizing but employers are reluctant to employ these more experienced staff in preference for younger cheaper staff.
Recently a number of companies acknowledged this growing problem and the following signed up to take positive action: Aviva, Atos, Barclays, the Co-operative Group, Home Instead Senior Care, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), Mercer and Walgreens Boots Alliance (which incorporates Boots the Chemist and Alliance Pharmacies).
Good point! This isnāt an area weāre currently focusing our efforts but 100% something we should be thinking about too. Weāre committed to building a team with a variety of skills and life experience off the back of this, I think itās how we promote and communicate relevant opportunities in the right places which we need to work on!
Hi, whatās the closing date on these positions? I really want to apply for the iOS role but Iām in the middle of exams and struggling to find time!
This role was posted a while ago but since almost the entire Monzo team have tweeted about it, in the past couple of days & Monzo are recruiting 2 Android engineers, I thought Iād post it again
You can get a sense of what a typical day in this role looks like from todayās weekly diary post
This sounds perfect! I find myself weekly looking at the careers page. Iām currently abroad but super keen to get a job at Monzo when Iām back in the UK.
Is there any particular way to apply for a possible future job (talking 2-4 months down the line sort of time frame).
Iām somewhat worried that by the time Iām in a geographically appropriate location the opportunities Iām interested in may be gone.
