Graduate careers typically include:
A fantastic opportunity for anyone who wishes to pursue a career in the field of FinTech with this course. FinTrU and the broader FinTech industry will benefit immensely from the knowledge and skills that this course offers. The financial services industry is experiencing rapid change both in terms of regulation, technology, and service requirements. This course provides participants with an opportunity to develop knowledge in financial services and delivery; skills that are in demand across the industry.
As opposed to coming to us and learning, we have all learned from our HDip FinTech work placement student. He brought FinTech industry/market knowledge – especially in the crypto space – that we didn’t have in our team. This has been vital in our current phase of our business as we review the opportunity of moving from Web2 to Web3. The placement has worked out so well that we have now offered our placement student a fulltime job with us.
