Global consultancy service MThree has partnered with the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment (CISI) in a bid to support the UK financial services’ talent pipeline.
MThree is a specialist in the financial services technology talent sector, operating in six countries across three continents.
Its alumni programme places graduates from UK universities; including Loughborough, Imperial College, Lancaster, Leeds, and UCL, with financial services firms to complete a two year fast-track scheme.
Jim Winter, CISI regional UK director, said: “With their connection to more than 50 universities across the whole of the UK and their strong global financial services employer relationships, the synergies will offer a competitive edge for both our members and the MThree graduates.
“MThree’s key role in bridging the gap between graduates and employers, building soft skills to complement tech skills, will help secure and develop the talent pipeline for our dynamic profession.”
Terms of the partnership
The partnership will give CISI affiliate membership to 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 its continuing professional development (CPD) portal, featuring videos, over 150 professional refresher modules 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.
Alex Headley, chief executive of MThree, said “The partnership enables us to continually upskill the alumni and provide them with the professional qualifications they need to succeed in their careers.
“Additionally, it is important for our clients to know that the expert training we deliver has been developed in conjunction with the CISI, is accredited and fully relevant to the alumni we place with them.”
