Aheadstart
Your career in financial services starts here.
Through apprenticeships and graduate opportunities, Aheadstart gives you exposure to the projects, platforms, and transformation programmes shaping Wealth Management, Insurance, and Financial Services.
You'll see how firms operate behind the scenes, how change is delivered, and how major industry challenges are solved, all while building the experience to launch your own career.
Apprenticeships
Earn while you learn.
One of the best ways to build your knowledge in Financial Services is to work within it.
Aheadstart apprenticeships combine structured learning with real industry experience, giving you the opportunity to obtain qualifications while gaining practical on-the-job experience.
You’ll spend four days a week working alongside our team and one day focused on structured study, allowing you to develop industry experience and recognised credentials as you go.
From day one, you’ll see parts of the industry that many people don’t encounter until much later in their careers, from platforms and delivery models to governance, testing, and transformation programmes.
What to expect:
- Paid employment while you learn.
- Dedicated study time built into your working week.
- Exposure to live client projects and delivery environments.
- Insight into platforms, change programmes, and how financial services firms operate.
- Support and mentoring from experienced industry professionals who genuinely care about your progression.
Graduate opportunities
Turn academic knowledge into industry experience
A degree gives you the knowledge. At AheadMG we give you the opportunities to apply it.
Many graduates leave university with strong academic knowledge but limited exposure to the commercial realities of the industry.
Through Aheadstart, you’ll have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned, contribute to live projects, and develop the practical experience that can’t be taught in a lecture hall.
Rather than observing from the sidelines, you’ll be part of the conversations, projects, and delivery teams helping financial services firms navigate change.
What to expect:
- Paid employment while you learn.
- Exposure to live projects and client environments.
- Experience working alongside consultants and change specialists.
- Opportunities to develop specialist industry expertise.
- Commercial experience within Wealth Management, Financial Services, and Insurance – all the industries we serve.
- Structured support as you begin building your professional career.
- A lateral way of working where you’re part of the conversation and contribute your ideas.
- A clear pathway to finding your niche in the industry.
”Joining AheadMG has been such a great decision. The team has made me feel so welcome and they genuinely take an interest in my studies and in helping me learn the ropes of the financial services industry. The best thing about the apprenticeship route for me is that I’m gaining hands on experience whilst training towards my qualification and earning at the same time. I'd highly recommend Aheadstart to fellow school leavers and graduates!
