Insight to Lloyds Banking Group – Tuesday 16th Sep, 5pm – 6pm

Are you ready to take your first step into the world of banking and finance? Whether you’re considering apprenticeships, work experience, internships or graduate schemes—this session is your launchpad.

Lloyds Banking Group is one of the world’s biggest financial services companies with over 30 million digital customers. Find out how they help Britain prosper, what makes their culture inclusive, and how their well-known brands are driving real change.

At this event, you will participate in workshops, network with their people, and hear about all of the key application deadlines for this year’s opportunities. You’ll hear straight from senior leaders about their journey, as well as recent apprentices and graduates and the advice they wish they’d had when starting out.

In addition, all who attend this virtual event will be the first to hear about and apply for over eight in-person events at their offices all across the UK. These events take place on Saturdays, so they don’t impact time out of school or university. In-person opportunities are very rare, especially at huge banks, so this will be your head start to getting your foot in the door!

Your future starts now. Let’s unlock it—together.

Date: Tuesday, 16th September
Time: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Sky Studios Hybrid Work Experience for 16-19 year olds

Sky Studios Elstree, located in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, is offering a 3-day hybrid work experience placement from 25–27 November 2025, designed for students aged 16–19.

What the experience involves:

  • Days 1 & 2 (Virtual): Online workshops covering the production timeline, studio operations, and a deep dive into the various roles behind the camera.
  • Day 3 (In-Person): A visit to Sky Studios Elstree for hands-on activities and a Sky Up Academy experience, where students will collaborate, create, and explore storytelling in a dynamic environment.

Why this matters for your students:

  • Gain real insight into film and TV production.
  • Engage in problem-solving tasks focused on production and sustainability challenges.
  • Explore a wide range of creative and technical roles in the industry.

Given the proximity to your school, this is a fantastic chance for students to experience the industry firsthand. Students must be within a commutable distance to attend the studios on the final day. My apologies if you fall outside of this area but it is sometimes difficult for me to gauge, given catchment areas.

Please note, group bookings are not available for this opportunity. Spaces are limited, so we encourage early applications to avoid disappointment.
