The prestigious academy gives graduates a valuable pathway into the growing local financial services sector, with those who complete the training guaranteed a job interview with FinTru.

They will also receive a weekly training allowance and travel expenses and may be eligible for child care allowance."
The training is delivered at the North West Regional College, in collaboration with Ulster University.
Leah McStravick, FinTrU Academy Manager, said: "To date we have employed over 300 people who have graduated through Assured Skills Academies.
