To work effectively in the Bank, you will be continuously acquiring and using new skills. This will be true, however well-qualified you are when you join. The Bank is a constantly changing environment and to equip you for success, we are committed to providing the right learning and development opportunities to help you realise your potential.

In your early days at the Bank you are provided with a thorough induction, and throughout your career a wide variety of training opportunities are available. Development needs can be met through specialist professional training, seminars, courses for behavioural skills, IT courses, together with an extensive suite of e-learning opportunities.

We have a highly supportive working and learning culture and much of your learning will be on-the-job, working with other experienced staff. We offer coaching, mentoring and buddy schemes for all new entrants.

There is scope to develop your technical skills, for example we sponsor work-related study and some staff attend a part-time summer school at the London School of Economics. We also have an extensive reference library located in Head Office, where academic and business related literature is available.

Graduate entrants join our highly valued Analyst Career Training (ACT) Programme to start their development process. The three year programme offers a range of training and development workshops aimed at providing you with the skills you need to succeed as an analyst.

Your personal development is important to us and our training and development programmes are seen as a key motivator for our staff.
