Its graduate Alumni programme places smart, engaged graduates from leading UK universities including Loughborough, Imperial College, Lancaster, Leeds, and UCL with financial services firms to complete a two year fast-track scheme.
The arrangement confirms CISI Affiliate Membership for MThree’s fintech Alumni graduates, which includes access to CISI’s Young Professionals Network. In addition, MThree will sponsor these Alumni to complete the CISI Level 3 Awards or other relevant CISI professional qualifications.
The graduates will have access to CISI’s Revision Express modules to support their learning and to CISI’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) portal, featuring videos, over 150 Professional Refresher modules to update sector knowledge and the opportunity to attend Young Professionals Networking events.
The partnership offers CISI Gold Corporate Supporter firm status for MThree, combined with Accredited Training Provider (ATP) status.
