From our 2025 graduates

"The grad programme was very helpful and well planned out. I enjoyed each aspect and felt it was really good for getting to understand CT and also meeting the people. I think that was really helpful to have the opportunity to meet so many of the people at CT as it made the place feel welcoming and not as daunting."

Ellis

“Earning your qualification while also balancing the workload can be tough but CT are very supportive through your qualification journey, from providing study leave, learning resources and financial support for exam fees.”

"The internship has significantly shaped how I view my future goals and career path. I left this experience with a clearer sense of direction, a more confident voice, and valuable skills that I'll carry forward into the next stage of my journey."

"What a game changer this internship has been! I picked up new technical skills and how to navigate financial data. These are skills I wouldn't have had the opportunity to develop anywhere else. I have left the internship with a clearer understanding of the industry."
