Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Placement Divisions
The GDP includes placements within two of the Commission's Divisions:
- Banking and Insurance Division
- Investment, Fiduciary, and Pension Division
- Financial Crime Division
- Enforcement Division
- Authorisations and Innovation Division
- Risk and Operations Division
During the GDP, graduates will undertake and learn tasks such as writing reports and letters, project research, and making recommendations as well as undertake on-site visits.
Placement Years
Looking for a one-year placement? The Commission is keen to support Graduates in their penultimate year with finding a fascinating placement which provides an introduction to financial regulation. Placement years are currently available for 2025 and 2026. Graduates are encouraged to return to a career at the Commission after graduation and if you have previously completed a placement year at the Commission, you will be eligible to join our Graduate Development Programme on a fast-track, completing the full programme and becoming an Analyst after just one further year in role (usually a two-year programme).
