JT+

Junior Trader Plus

Get the advantage!

Junior Trader Plus is where we really engage with students’ career paths, and try and open doors in the City for young financiers. The individual parts of the scheme are only open to those that have completed the Junior Trader Share Trader Competition or attented the City of London Lecture Tour.

There are notional costs to different elements, subsidised by our Sponsors in cases that are merited by scholarship or personal circumstances.

Ranging from a further study course to private Institutional Visits and career insights, we try and match you with the right career path and mentor your application process so that you are effective in early career choices.

For Schools/Groups

City Visits

Private City visits combine our walking lecture introduction to finance, with a behind the scenes session with one of our Sponsor institutions, who will welcome our group into their office for a early stage career talk with their HR department lead, a networking event with their current graduates and a walk-through their live dealing floor.

These opportunities are very limited right now, so please add your school to our waitlist so that we can match you with a Sponsor. Allow half a day to combine the walking tour lecture with a dealing floor visit.

Free (bursary) places

We are fortunate to work with schools and sponsors who pay for our services. Once we have covered our administrative costs, we assist those that cannot afford places on our JT+ scheme (e.g. a school London Walking Tour or the JT+ Study course) with reduced or free places. This is possible thanks to the ongoing support of our corporate sponsors.

Early Career Mentoring

First, you must have completed our JT+ module, so we have some feedback to review as a starting point. Following a personality and resilience test, we will then have a 45-minute discussion with you about career options.

Further sessions are then available to help you apply for internships or graduate roles.

Please reach out for more information regarding pricing of these sessions.

Partner Institutions

Large Financial Institutions rarely offer the work experience to students under 18 due to safeguarding. It is a shame because this valuable experience used to spawn many careers. Through the structured approach offered by Junior Trader, Partner Institutions can offer unique behind the scenes experiences for the Junior Trader Alumni, and play a part in improving diversity and accessibility in the city. Please contact us to play your part in bringing diversity to the City and opening your doors to enthusiastic students!
